Always quote the full Yum output, please. You tried to trim it down,
but deleted details that may be important.
Some comments:
The compat-db update is this:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/compat-db-4.7.25-3.fc13
It includes compat-db47-4.7.25-3.fc13 for both i686 _and_ x86_64:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=178423
However (!):
The i686 build of compat-db47-4.7.25-3.fc13 was not composed into
the x86_64 updates repository, whereas the previous -2.fc13 build
remains in the stock F13 "fedora" repository.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/13/x86_64/
So, there is no multiarch update for compat-db47-4.7.25-2.fc13.i686
and if that one really is needed by something else for a x86_64 multiarch
install, this is a problem.
There should either be a proper multiarch update or an "Obsoletes" tag
in the x86_64 package to get rid of the old [if unused] i686 pkg.
