To: bugs@mit.edu
CC: jweiss@mit.edu
From: Jonathon Weiss <jweiss@MIT.EDU>


System name:		variable.mit.edu (detraction.mit.edu)
Type and version:	i586 8.4.11
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6 SVGA

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
 (/usr/local/bin/sipbtcsh?)
Window manager:		/usr/local/bin/vtwm.gamma

What were you trying to do?
	clean up after I made a mess out of my pcmcia drivers


What went wrong?
	verify will fail to forcibly install RPMs that need it on a
	586 or lower machine if one of the ones that needs replacing
	is listed as i686 in the rpm list.  (The failure is because
	it tries to install the i686 rpm and rpm (correctly) balks.)
