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?
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.
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.
5. "zypper dup" simply lists packages that will "change vendor", from
what to what is a total mystery.
If you attempt building from sources, you discover the 64-bit libs you
thought were installed are not there.
It's a right royal mess of the first order.
Regards
Sid.
