tk.x86_64 pulls in old package of tcl.i386, and doesn't use installed new package of tcl.x86_64

Description of problem: tcl 8.5.2 (x86_64) is installed. I try to install tk, it pulls in tcl 8.5.1 (i386). Apps such as gitk don't work then. [root@jurassic ~]# rpm -qa tcl tcl-8.5.2-1.fc9.x86_64 [root@jurassic ~]# rpm -qa tk [root@jurassic ~]# yum install tk Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit emacs | 1.1 kB 00:00 primary.xml.gz | 2.2 kB 00:00 emacs 5/5 updates | 2.3 kB 00:00 primary.sqlite.bz2 | 1.9 MB 00:11 freshrpms | 1.9 kB 00:00 primary.sqlite.bz2 | 104 kB 00:01 fedora | 2.4 kB 00:00 primary.sqlite.bz2 | 7.6 MB 00:43 Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package tk.x86_64 1:8.5.1-4.fc9 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: tcl = 1:8.5.1 for package: tk --> Running transaction check ---> Package tcl.i386 1:8.5.1-4.fc9 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: tk x86_64 1:8.5.1-4.fc9 updates 1.5 M Installing for dependencies: tcl i386 1:8.5.1-4.fc9 fedora 2.2 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total size: 3.7 M Is this ok [y/N]: n Exiting on user Command Complete! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tk-8.5.1-4.fc9 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install tk Actual results: Old version of tcl.i386 is download and installed as a dep. Expected results: Existing latest version of tcl.x86_64 should be used (or downloaded and installed) as a dep.
Updating title to make more sense. Also, apps such as gitk and git-gui are broken (which is how I first noticed the issue after a yum update). yum them complains of an existing update to tcl.i386 package (because there's one) which it can't install because tk.x86_64 depends on the old tcl.i386 package. It seems wrong that tcl.x86_64 should depend on tcl.i386 when both packages have i386 and x86_64 RPMs.
Correction: It seems wrong that tk.x86_64 should depend on tcl.i386 when both packages have i386 and x86_64 RPMs.
