I'm trying to do an update to some servers... and they have both i386 and
x86_64 perl. The latter won't update, because the idiotic *man pages* are
dups. Is there *any* way, short of using rpm directly with a --force, to
get yum to ignore the dups and do the update?

And why does *anyone* make it so that a dup manpage is a reason to fail
(and don't tell me they do it generically for any of the packages in the
.rpm...)?
