[CentOS] CentOS 5.3 on X86_64: yum installs both i386 and x86_64 packages

[Patrick McEvoy]

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?

Thanks,
Patrick
