[Repost] What is "Error: Protected multilib versions"

I still get this error several times a week, and I still have no idea
what it means or how I'm supposed to respond to it (other than
fiddling randomly with packages until it goes away).

The latest one:

# yum install /usr/sbin/libvirtd
[... yum spew deleted ...]
Error: Protected multilib versions: libvirt-client-0.9.10-2.fc17.i686 != libvirt-client-0.9.10-3.fc17.x86_64

$ rpm -qa | grep libvirt-client
libvirt-client-0.9.10-3.fc17.x86_64

What does the error mean?

Rich.
