FC5 x86_64 to FC6 asks for i386 dependencies

[Javier Perez]

I wonder why during an upgrade from FC5 to FC6, yum is asking for i386
dependencies files?

I cleaned up my system of all i386 packages (some of them where confusing
yum which bombed out with an error message asking for dependencies when both
the x86_64 and the i386 package where installed).

After this small bit of sanitation I ran "yum upgrade" and  was surprised to
see  on the list of dependencies to be installed some i386 packages. Here is
the whole dependencies list.

==========================================
Why are audit-libs, dbus, dbus-glib, glib2 libcap, libselinux and libsepol
picking up the i386 version instead of the x86_64 version? Are they related
somehow? I remember specifically deleting the dbus and the glib2 i386 stuff

This is weird

So far, it looks like it is updating everything else properly, but I wonder
if these i368 stuff may conflict with the x86_64 libs
