No, because then the F13 build would update the F12 build. Above you can
see a package .fc12.i686 in the fedora-12-x86_64 repo, however.

Self-obsoletes or an arch-specific %{?_isa} base pkg dep.
It depends on how these Mono packages are supposed to work.


$ rpmls -p monodevelop-debugger-mdb-devel-2.2.1-1.fc13.i686.rpm 
-rw-r--r--  /usr/lib/pkgconfig/mono.debugging.backend.mdb.pc

It contains only a pkg-config file and hence doesn't have any automatic
arch-specific dependency on the base package. monodevelop-devel also contains
only pkg-config files.
