the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
It seems dnf installs 64 bit packages for transactions which could be satisfied by just 32 bit packages.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-4.2.23-2.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install brlapi.i686
2.
3.
Actual results:
brlapi.x86_64 and brltty.x86_64 are installed
Expected results:
No 64 bit packages installed
Additional info:
It seems manual transaction works:
# dnf install brltty.i686 brlapi.i686 bluez-libs.i686 alsa-lib.i686 libX11.i686 libXau.i686 libXext.i686 libXi.i686 libXtst.i686 libxcb.i686
but exclude doesn't:
# dnf install brltty.i686 --exclude '*.x86_64'
Minimal reproducer (thanks to Marek Blaha):
# dnf install libxcb.i686
Dependencies resolved.
