Hi list,
I have a 64-bit SL(C)4 system and would like to install 32-bit Python.
64bit repositories of my OS are protected. When I ask yum to install
python.i386, its debug tells me that it will ignore python from the
32bit repo as "python" is already present in the 64bit slc4 repo.

Is there any way I can get python.i386 installed and automatically
updated when it gets bumped in the 32bit repo?

Would it be safe to hack the protectbase.py to exclude only packages for
same arch?

Cheers,
-jkt
