Came to work this morning and updater icon told me that updates were
available on my F11 system. Pretty routine, I told it to go ahead and
do the update.

What wasn't routine was the subsequent error dialog complaining of
"Local file conflict between packages":

The 32 and 64 bit packages have coexisted on my system for a long
time. I don't even recall why I had the i586 package installed at all,
but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that VMWare probably required
the 32-bit libs.

Anyway, today I can't update. Can anything be done? Or should this get
bugzilla'd? And if so, against what?
