Oh, I see, thanks. I remember a couple of years ago that Fedora installed 32-bits stuff by itself and I ended with a messed system, but I guess that was a bug.

Thank you!

This is maybe a silly question but...  if you're architecture is, let's say
x86_64, why would anything install an i686 version of the same package?


If you install a 32-bit program, it may pull in other i686
dependencies. See what happens if you try to install skype's rpm.
There is also the case of compiling stuff for i686.
