This import/export feature does not take versions or architecture into account.
This was a design decision: Adding versions would make it impossible to use
this feature from one openSUSE release to the next or only from one machine
with the latest updates to another without them. Adding architecture would make
it impossible to use this feature for machines with different architectures.
x86_64 is a pathological case because of its mixed architecture, even more so
if the "lower priority" architecture (i586) was manually chosen for some
packages prior to using this import/export feature. This is not something that
can easily be handled in the UI.
All this was known at the time when we (re-) introduced this feature, and
everybody involved agreed that we can live with the limitations.
