Many many problems with that...

First of all i386 and x86_64 RPMs conflict if they have at least a common
file (i.e. a binary). So in order to install i386 and then x86_64 you should
have to use '--force' for the last one.

And in any cases updates/erases failed to work fine because the two RPMs
share the same name, some files are shared and so one of the RPMs failed
to find the files, and uninstall scripts should not appreciate that someone
remove some files previously.

So a kind of external action should be used to manage properly the dual
installation... It's a pitty.
