Description of problem: It seems to be impossible to use the GNOME PackageKit client to install the i386 version of a multilib package whose x86_64 version is already installed. It displays an error dialog saying "This package could not be installed as it is already installed". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have, e.g., SDL.x86_64 installed, but not SDL.i386 2.Run GNOME PackageKit 3.Select i386 version of SDL from list of available packages 4.Click install Actual results: "This package could not be installed as it is already installed" Expected results: package installs Additional info: Dunno if the problem is with gnome-packagekit, or PackageKit itself, or even further down the stack (yum?) as I can't be arsed to figure out pkcon syntax--for now I've fallen back to manually downloading and installing using rpm -i.
Sure, I've not got a multilib box here so I can't test this. Could you try rebuilding PackageKit from rawhide and trying that? Thanks.
