(or SL4.6, I guess/hope :-)

I don't think they will get applied if they are in the errata (unless 
you change the release number, of course), since the "base" repository 
will usually come first. Which means we have the optiosn to
- replace in base (nasty, CD/DVD is different, but helps people who'd 
like to newly install these RPMS, and nobody else would notice
- bump release and put into errata
- defer to next release, keep in errata until then and tell people to 
manually overwrite in their repo if they see trouble.

Hm. Quick+dirty, looking at man pages only (not sure which other files 
get silently "ignored" on a multilib install)

cd ..../en/os/x86_64/SL/RPMS;
for i in *.i?86.rpm; do
  j=${i%%.i?86.rpm}.x86_64.rpm;
  if [ ! -e $j ]; then
     next;
  fi;
  echo $i - $j;
  rpm -qp --qf '[%{FILENAMES} %{FILEMD5S}\n]' $i | grep '/man/'|sort > 
${TMP:-/tmp}/$i.files;
  rpm -qp --qf '[%{FILENAMES} %{FILEMD5S}\n]' $j | grep '/man/' | sort > 
${TMP:-/tmp}/$j.files;

  diff -u ${TMP:-/tmp}/$i.files  ${TMP:-/tmp}/$j.files || echo "Warning: 
$i/$j different";
done
