Are you sure about the third rule?

I think the problem arises because /usr/bin/libguestfs-supermin-helper
is different in libguestfs.i686 and libguestfs.x86_64, but this file
is a shell script, not an ELF binary.

These are the files in libguestfs.i686 and libguestfs.x86_64 that have
the same names but different content:

  /usr/bin/hivexget                     (ELF binary)
  /usr/bin/hivexml                      (ELF binary)
  /usr/bin/libguestfs-test-tool         (ELF binary)
  /usr/libexec/libguestfs-test-tool-helper (ELF binary)
  /usr/bin/libguestfs-supermin-helper   (shell script)

Anyway, I will move the shell script and see if that helps.

Rich.
