Depending on how you installed you could find there were gripes when you'd
only got one half of a multilib on.  I think that was normally a red herring
and you just had to force the two to coexist (and yum would normally just make
that happen).

You get that with things like firefox, where both 32bit and 64bit provide
identical files, but it's not *really* a problem.
