offending rpm

Description of problem:

I am unable to install a custom rpm from my local repository.
All custom rpms in this repository show from other server trying to install it via yum install, except for this one.

I cannot imagine why this would happen for only one rpm, unless there is something wrong with the rpm. 

Doesn't yum just look at an rpm file and install it?

I cannot install this crucial rpm as a result via yum. 
I verified it is in the repository (createrepo -v --update .) and I checked the repository metadata (zcat x86_64/repodata/*.gz | grep mycustomrpm) and it shows up.

I did notice that running a rpm -ivvh showed some information that it's built for i386 it seems, so I added it to my i386 repository but I imagine yum see's it's an x86_64 system and then doesn't utilize this repository. I can't imagine this is the issue though because I've install i386 packages on x86 system before.

I also tried yum install custompackage.i386 to specify i386 repo but it still doesn't see it.

I've downloaded the RPM, and queried it.  The package name is SumoCollector-19.9-2-1.i386

Seems you have tried to install "SumoLogic".  Try installing "SumoCollector" instead.
