I originally reported this through bugzilla, but at Rahul's

I am posting this to the fedora-devel.
Some Fedora 12 packages have versions that do not supersede the versions
of Fedora 11 packages, preventing a complete upgrade to FC12. A partial
list is:
[...]
For example, 'yum update iw' does nothing; 'yum install
iw' results in
an error message
Transaction Check Error:
package iw-0.9.17-3.fc11.i586 (which is newer than
iw-0.9.17-2.fc12.i686) is
already installed
This is due to the .i586 => .i686 change, probably worth a BZ against
yum. downgrade also has problems ... of course this should really be the
last time now, so adding any more hacks is going to be a low priority.
