Even more confusing:
yum erase openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686 reports: No Match for 
argument: openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686 but
yum erase openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19 shows all x86_64 , nothing for i686
find -name 'openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686'  = no results
yum search openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686  = no results
locate openssl-libs-1.0.1e-37.fc19.i686  = no results
I ran yum clean but 1686 problem remains.
