just to make sure that things are clear, here is what lead to this state:

1. install centos 5
2. install rpms based on rhwas (php 5.2 being the main thing), these are
from a locally built repo called webstack
3. setup ius repo
4. successfully use yum replace to go from php 5.2 to php53u.
5. realize there are other things from my webstack repo that i want to
rollback to, so i use yum downgrade or yum replace
6. get stuck with the postgresqlclient81 to postgresql-libs yum replace

i looked at the various requires/provides bits i could think of and it
seemed like it should all work, but it just kept choosing the i386 version.

i got around this by tweaking my base repo to exclude the i386 rpm and
that made things work, so i don't have a machine right this second to
test on, but i have other systems that i'll be doing the same conversion
on, so when i get to that, if the same problems occurs, i'll get more info.
