In a FC3 machine I have python.i386 installed and I want to replace it
with python.i686. The versions are the same:

# yum list python
...
Installed Packages
python.i386                              2.3.4-13.1             installed
Available Packages
python.i686                              2.3.4-13.1             custom-updates


As you can see from the yum output above I have already built the i686
package and placed it in a yum repository.

If I try to update:

# yum update python*
...

# yum --version

What is the best way to achieve it?
