Is it possible to prevent yum to install double version of a

night, I wanted to install digikam and yum offered to install both
version (x86_64 and i386) and all missing dependencies (x86_64 and
i386).
I need only one version!
Is there some possibility: --exclude=i386
If you want to remove all i386 packages from your computer you can
use this
command:
yum remove \*.i?86
If you want to exclude all i386 packages from your yum commands, you
can add
this to /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686
can you just put exclude=*.i?86 instead of listing out all three?

You might not want to do that.
nspluginwrapper works well with i386 adobe flash - but if you exclude
all i386 packages you will not meat the dependencies for the adobe
flash plugin. Same for Acrobat reader.
but since i dont have flash or acrobat reader running on my x86_64
system it would otherwise be ok to do?
thanks,
