Description David Lehman 2006-06-28 17:26:22 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #193563 +++

runTransaction can be handed nvrea's, or just nvre's in the case of syncing to a
package profile.  With the fix for bz #162106, a box that has mixed 64bit &
32bit rpms will select 64bit packages as the "most desirable" during runTransaction.

Unfortunately, 32bit deps may still exist, and therefore the transaction will
fail w/ unmet dependencies.

Current plan is to do limited depsolving, so long as the results stay within the
the nvre universe of installed packages + delta (basically, don't go pulling in
new package names or version-release-epoch's that are outside of the defined
transaction).

Note that this will probably require a new server-side call to work correctly,
and will need to be tested against older satellite's to ensure backwards
compatibility...
