Fedora 3, yum-2.1.11-3 rpm-4.3.2-21

A few of them, but I'll do a complete example here:

[root at moya tmp]# yum list xorg-x11-deprecated-libs
...
Installed Packages
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.x86_64          6.8.1-12.FC3.21        installed
Available Packages
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.i386            6.8.1-12.FC3.21        updates3

[root at moya tmp]# yum install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.i386
...
Nothing to do

(so I'll try with RPM:)
[root at moya tmp]# rpm -Uhv
/nexus/heap/software/yum/updates/3_64/RPMS/xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-0-6.8.1-12.FC3.21.i386.rpm
Preparing...
########################################### [100%]

1:xorg-x11-deprecated-lib###########################################
[100%]

(and then all is well)
[root at moya tmp]# yum list xorg-x11-deprecated-libs
...
Installed Packages
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.i386            6.8.1-12.FC3.21        installed
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.x86_64          6.8.1-12.FC3.21        installed

Thanks
