It would be interesting to know if any of those rpm's specifically
require the i586 version of the OpenOffice_org-ure package, meaning it
is specified as an i586 package in the spec file?

Subject: [Bug 244447] Re: 64bit u/g mix up in upgrading packages -
itsdowngrades to i586

Dunno if this is the same problem or not, but I often find smart wants
to install an i586 package during upgrades.  Running OpenSUSE 11.1.
Running smart 1.2-4.1.

Example: I want to upgrade to the latest OpenOffice.org 3.2 release
candidate.  So I do:

smart> install OpenOffice_org

Well.  My local repository deliberately doesn't have i586 packages, so
it fails to download that i586 goofball.  If I try to install the RPM's
manually, this happens:

[2(root)||{!5}<dsl092-065-009>/var/lib/smart/packages]
# rpm -Uvh *
error: Failed dependencies:
        OpenOffice_org-ure = 3.1.1.5 is needed by (installed)

All right, let's try it this way:

Installing packages (1):
  OpenOffice_org-ure-3.1.1.5-1.1@i586    

This time rpm installs everything (modulo that silly 3.1.1.5 package).

Basically, I don't think smart should *ever* install an ix86 package on
a 64-bit system unless either a) the package is already installed as an
ix86 package (e. g. wine, acroread, or the like) or b) the user
explicitly requests the package fully qualified.  If I try to do an
upgrade, I get some really strange things, such as evolution-data-
server-2.28.2-1.3@i586 trying to replace evolution-data-server-
32bit-2.28.2-1.3@x86_64, fam-2.7.0-129.11@i586 trying to replace
fam-2.7.0-130.1@x86_64, and gnome-vfs2-2.24.0-3.6@i586 trying to replace
gnome-vfs2-2.24.2-1.3@x86_64.  Among a bunch of others.
