has yum error output and a list of packages installed on my system before the command

Description of problem:

After upgrading to fedora 17 (x86_64) from DVD via the DVD's "upgrade existing system" option, reboot and try to do "yum upgrade" [or update--doesn't matter].  yum detects a massive number of missing requisites/conflicts because it is getting confused between the .x86_64 arch and the .i686 arch, or between fc17 and prior ones.

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


How reproducible:

Using Fedora install DVD's, install earlier version (e.g. fc15).  This is x86_64, but additionally install some i686 versions of packages (e.g. install a bunch of i686 devel packages or libraries that already have their x86_64 versions installed).  Install fc16 via the DVD "upgrade" option.  Then upgrade (via DVD) to fc17.  Reboot and run "yum upgrade"


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install fedora version using DVD "upgrade existing system" option
2.reboot
3.yum upgrade

Repeat this for fc15-fc17
  
Actual results:

yum will equate package.fc17.x86_64 and package.fc16.i686 and complain about a duplicate

Expected results:

clean upgrade, which happened just fine when upgrading from fc15 to fc16


Additional info:

On one system, the workaround was to list the installed packages and then do a "yum remove" followed by a "yum install" for any package that was more than one rev back (e.g. fc15's)
