Conflicts while yum upgrade.

device-mapper-1.02.17-6.fc7 conflicts with file from package
device-mapper-1.02.13-1.fc7
Seems like yum isn't pulling in the 1.02.17-6.fc7.i386 causing the conflict

I think it's a question for yum, what the right behaviour should be when
overlapping packages from two archs have been installed like that.
[-libs is now separate so you probably don't want the device-mapper i386 package
installed any more.]
This is purely a bug in the upgrade path in the package. You don't have
anything saying that the old, other arch of the device-mapper package should be
removed.
