I understand how to remove them using ' yum remove *.i?86 '. The link below says that it breaks the installation of the x86_64 packages by removing files which are shared between the architectures, i.e. docs. How do you remove the .i?86 packages without effecting the x86_64 packages?

Frank Cox posted above this line, ' yum remove *.i?86 '
What I do is put the package name and then the platform. E.g php-cli.x86_64

I have just found this post regarding the removal of .i?86 packages on a x86_64 machine, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2590. I assume that these issues still exist for CentOS 5.3. Anyone have advice on how to remove the duplicate packages safely?
