This is what I did and observed.
1. Add "exclude = *.i?86" to /etc/yum.conf
cf.
http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-357346ff0bf7c14b0849c3bcce39677aaca528e9
2. Query
yum search ncurses-devel
Query result: Two ncurses-devel are *still* there!
3. Try to uninstall
rpm -e `rpm -q --queryformat "%{name}.%{arch}\n" ncurses-devel`
It works like charm, "rpm -qa | grep ncurses-devel"
4. Reinstall
sudo yum -y install ncurses-devel
Well, this time only 64 bit one was installed.
-> ncurses-devel-5.5-24.20060715.x86_64.rpm
# 5. Other "duplicated" rpms
# rpm -qa --queryformat='%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n' | grep
'\.i[3456]86$' | sort
Thank you,
