The result is that instead of getting the newer version for .x86_64, you get the newer version for i386.  Yum should have selected libgfortran44.x86_64 here, not only because the user explicitly specified .x86_64, but because the system is native x86_64.

can you run:

yum list libgfortran\*

and paste the output.

The system in question has already got the problem fixed by explicitly installing libgfortran44.x86_64, so "yum list" won't be representative.
But from a different system where nothing has been done yet, it's replicable:

# yum list 'libgfortran*'

Can you run the following command:

repoquery -q --obsoletes libgfortran44.x86_64
repoquery -q --obsoletes libgfortran44.i386

--- Additional comment from art-rh on 2010-05-18 13:43:17 EDT ---

[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]# repoquery -q --obsoletes libgfortran44.x86_64
[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]# repoquery -q --obsoletes libgfortran44.i386  
[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]# repoquery -q --obsoletes libgfortran43.x86_64
[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]# repoquery -q --obsoletes libgfortran43.i386  
[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]#

--- Additional comment from svidal on 2010-05-18 13:59:03 EDT ---

right -sorry run:

repoquery --plugins -q --obsoletes libgfortran.x86_64

--- Additional comment from art-rh on 2010-05-18 15:12:53 EDT ---

[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]# repoquery --plugins -q --obsoletes libgfortran.x86_64
libf2c

But presuming  you meant libgfortran44.x86_64:
[root@gvrsimeng01 sbin]# repoquery --plugins -q --obsoletes libgfortran44.x86_64 

libgfortran43

Ok, I have an upstream testcase for this.

--- Additional comment from james.antill on 2010-05-18 17:32:27 EDT ---

We have upstream fixes now, both for this case and for if libgfortran33 was noarch.

I've marked this BZ to be considered for 5.6.
