[PlanetCCRMA] fc7 x86_64 i386 conflicts

As for jack i386 being installed by default -- it looks like it does
so if you choose to install KDE at the outset, which seems to install
i386 versions of every package, as well as x86_64.

By the way, here's something:

# file jackd
jackd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

seems to be 64-bit whenever the two packages own the same binary (I
checked a few others) -- I assume this is due to rpm install order
preference, but I suppose this would make sense as most 32-bit
programs, as long as they aren't frontends, should just need the
32-bit libraries but not the binaries.


here's what I get when I try to remove jack.i386
