Ah, you probably see a problem in Yum. Run "yum update" first. Or "yum
update libexif" to make sure your installed x86_64 libexif becomes the
latest before using "yum install ..." to install extra packages. Then,
when the i386 libexif is added to your installation, both will be the
same version-release and won't conflict.
