Okay, look at me being a fool!
While I was shure I added priority=1 to the CR.repo I didn't doublecheck that file (I did check my other .repo's). Until now.

Thanks Nicolas and Ljubomir for your time and help!

What a shame....



For the record:

I local-installed glibc without problems
   Installing : glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3.i686
   Installing : nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.8-1.el6_0.i686

but then...

yum install samba

And then I went back to my cr.repo

Strange thing is, now it installs only the samba.x86_64 without complaining. No more i686's.
