poldek: impossible to upgrade from i686 to x86_64

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

I have a i686 th system. Upgraded rpm and poldek (to poldek-0.30-0.20080820.23.40.x86_64). Fixed /etc/rpm/platform to contain x86_64 version.

Tried to use poldek to upgrade/switch to x86_64 packages BUT poldek shows no possible upgrades in poldek "llu" command.

What's worse doing "install --reinstall dos2unix" to make poldek switch i686 package to x86_64 one (that worked long time ago) it... installs dos2unix x86_64 version while still leaving i686 files and rpmdb information. So I end up with having both dos2unix installed (i686 and x86_64 in rpmdb) but files on filesystem are only from x86_64 version.

How can I migrate from i686 to x86_64 now with this silly behaviour?
