This problem still exists with seemingly no handle on it. 1. Why is "zypper dup" upgrading to a i586 package when an x86_64 package exists?

You mean the x86_64 one is installed and replaced with a i586 one ? This might be caused by the vendor checks, 'zypper dup' tries to stay with the same vendor. You didn't tell us your installed distribution or the repositories you're trying to upgrade to.

2. "rpm -qi <package>" no longer lists the build architecture. You can only tell by "rpm -ql <package>" and seeing if the libs got installed in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64.

Running "rpm -qi" on openSUSE 11.0 also does not show build architecturs. One needs to add --queryformat %{arch}.

3. There seems no sane reason for any of these changes. 4. If I use YaST to upgrade packages and the offered versions are x86_64 and i586, selecting the x86_64 one doesn't work, you still get the i586 package. Have you checked the vendor ?

5. "zypper dup" simply lists packages that will "change vendor", from what to what is a total mystery.

Yeah, getting more information would be helpful. Care to file an enhancement bug for this ?
