Wine is the only one I have noticed lately, but back at 11.1 Beta,
several packages were having the same problem - a bug was filed. At one
point it was changing rpm to i586 and complaining that following x86_64
packages were for the x86_64 architecture. I found many i586 packages
installed.
I had to do lots of manual installs with "rpm -Uvh --ignorearch" of the
affected x86_64 packages to straighten it out.
"zypper rm wine", "zypper in wine" still installs the i586 package.
Regards
Sid.
