this is a long standing problem where if there is a /etc/rpm/platform file
things get confused the plague needsign repo contains ppc i386 and x86_64
worse than that, plague needsign is an "all in one" repo, it contains
_all_ arches and even the source rpms
removing the /etc/rpm/platform file fixes the problem. which i did.
things
have long reverted to normal.
