You have to explicitly exclude them if you don't want them, or use another dependency solver which treats them as separate packages, such as apt-rpm (which uses foo and foo.32bit).
Yum sees them as both too. foo.x86_64 vs foo.i386. You can exclude=*.i?86 in your /etc/yum.conf and exlude all i386 packages, likewise do a 'yum remove *.i?86' to cleanse your system of non x86_64 or noarch packages.
I don't want to exclude all i386 packages. There are a set of i386 packages that should nominally be installed on an x86_64 system. I want those. I just don't want to get i386 versions of everything.
