Hello,

I was getting this, or something similar, as well.  Spacewalk was not
taking arch into consideration for some of its update procedures.  Hence
the i386 conflicting with the i686, of which you probably have only one
installed.  Spacewalk incorrectly queued both arches for update/install.
 I ran into this queuing updates via the API, and filed/fixed this under
rhbz 588901.  That fix should show up in sw1.1.

Hope to help,

Josh
