Just to note, if you fix multiarch conflicts by moving libraries to
a -libs package, your new -libs package should obsolete the older
versions of the package where the libraries came from. This is so
that yum upgrades work properly.
For example, if you previously had:
foo-1.1-1.i386
foo-1.1-1.x86_64
that had libraries, and had other file conflicts, and you split them
into:
foo-1.1-2.x86_64
foo-libs-1.1-2.i386
foo-libs-1.1-2.x86_64
you should add:
Obsoletes: foo < 1.1-2
in the %package section for foo-libs.
