i have a centos 5 system where i had installed some locally built
packages based on the rhas (or rhwas) stuff that had php 5.2, plus other
bits. i've successfully gotten all of that removed and upgraded to ius
php53u. the one sticking point i have is that the rhas stuff had a
postgres 8.1 client library name postgresqlclient81 (just like ius), and
i am trying to revert that back to native postgresql-libs, but this is
what happens:

# yum replace postgresqlclient81 --replace-with postgresql-libs

it is picking the i386 variant, even though the box is x86_64. i've
tried passing postgresql-libs.x86_64, but that doesn't work. i imagine i
can do some trickery to exclude the i386 stuff from base while i do
this, but i'm wondering if there is a more correct way to do what i'm
trying, or maybe this is a bug in the replace plugin? it seems like it
should try to replace with the same arch.
