Running Fedora 14 x86_64, i was trying to search for a package

YUM. The search results lists multiple versions [Fc12, Fc13, Fc14] and
different arch [i686 and x86_64], of which i just need it to list
against Fc14 and x86_64. Why is this so, can we prevent this or is this
a bad/undesirable feature in yum.
Packages, which have not been rebuilt for F-14, may still contain an
older distribution tag (such as ".fc12") in their package release name.
With the x86_64 arch you can also install and run i686 for 32-bit
compatibility. Not all i686 packages are available in the Yum repository
for x86_64, though. Just a subset.

That isn't a stack trace.
