resolves to 32 bits package instead of 64 bits

[Rehan Khan]

Imported: http://tracker.labix.org/issue371
Reason for Import: This looks like either a package naming issue or an ARCH issue for multilib (i386/x86_64). review to see if smart should handle mixed environments differently and close if not
