Interesting problem with Yum

This is probably known, but maybe not.

Scenario:

x86_64 install of Fedora FC6t2.  Standard install, nothing special.

Two versions of nautilus get installed.  (i386 and x86_64.)

Later, there is an update to nautilus, but only for the x86_64.  Instead 
of yum reporting that there is a missing piece to the update needed, or 
removing the i386 version, it gives errors about conflicts between two 
versions of the same package. (With no mention of architecture.)

Any way of flagging depricated architectures for multi-architecture 
systems or getting yum to flag this error or someone putting in a i386 
nautilus package in the x86_64 development directory for yum so people can 
upgrade?

Thanks!
