as you may have seen in my followup, i was able to trick it by excluding
the i386 package. i was trying to drop back to centos base, so that is
why the names didn't have ius. the issue is just that for some reason,
the replace plugin decided to use i386 instead of x86_64, and i couldn't
even override that on the command line. i haven't looked into the
provenance of the replace plugin, so it may not even really be something
the ius folks would fix.  googling around seems to imply that ius has
adopted this package, but the rpm points to a dead github area.
