Well, thats bad.
libzypp checked when parsing repository metadata and discarded
solvables incompatible with the target system.
repo_add_solv() could (should?) do this.

sat-solver shouldn't try to detect the architecture. That's up to the
application (which might want to do dry-runs for several architectures).

For the glory details on detecting the systems architecture, see
