No, I've been trying to get rid of i386 stuff, remember?  I checked that
before posting my first message.  Only the x86_64 version was installed.

I think the situation is a little more complicated, anyway.  If I say:

	yum install frobnitz

It does *not* go off and install both versions - I just get the x86_64
version, which is what I would want.  The i386 packages seem to mostly
sneak in through upgrades, as was shown in my example.

Thanks,
