This isn't working because it needs to update both i386 and x86_64
versions of mozilla at the same time. Did you bugzilla the fact that
there is no mozilla.i386 update in the x86_64 updates-released repo?
No, it's not working because programs are not packaged to be installed
for two different architectures at the same time. Remember the issue
with updating perl on x86_64 a while back with FC3? You can install
either the 32-bit (with some tricks) or 64-bit version, but not both
(using the official RPM packages, that is).
Note that I said "programs" above. There are libraries and such that
can be installed for 32-bit and 64-bit at the same time and are meant
to have that capability. The fact that there is no i386 mozilla
update is because there was no i386 package to begin with. This is
not a bug. The packages that are showing up with both 32-bit and
64-bit versions are libraries that some other (32-bit) programs use.
I think you *can* install i386 and x86_64 versions of just about
anything at the same time, as long as they're the exact same
epoch-version-release (not that it's a good idea). You're certainly
right about there not having been a mozilla.i386 package in the FC4 to
start with, which begs the question: how did the OP end up with
mozilla.i386 on his system?
I'll go off and retract that bug report now...
Paul.
