screenshot of the "Loading..." window.

Description of problem:

Software Update does not show the x86_64 package information when you are running a RHEL6.1 64 bits and have the same package in both architectures to be updated. You can see the 32 bits package information but when select the 64 bits, it shows only "Loading..." in the information box.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-packagekit-2.28.3-3.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-gtk-module-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-gtk-module-0.5.8-19.el6.i686
PackageKit-glib-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-device-rebind-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-yum-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-0.5.8-19.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure you have 32 and 64 versions update of a given package
2. Open Software Update
3. Select the 64 bits version of the package to be updated
  
Actual results:

Software Updates does not show the information and size. It shows "Loading..."


Expected results:

The applications should show the packageinformation

I can reproduce this. Working on a fix now.

I've fixed this upstream with the following fix:

commit 2e8cfeeec2f81a32f324ce4ed3b31bfc59c07d2f

    Try harder to find the correct update item in the update viewer
    
    Try to find the exact package ID before falling back to the name in the update
    viewer. This ensures we find both versions of a package when we have installed
    multarch versions.
