Yes, of course. However I had already reported it on BZ several hours 
earlier with no reaction, and since the packager is Milan I thought I'd 
take a chance. Sorry about that. Put it down to Evo withdrawal :-)

Definitely not, double and triple checked. Also, "rpm -ql" of the rpms 
shows 64-bit binaries and libraries.

I just ran your yum line and the rpms are bit-for-bit identical to those 
I had downloaded manually. However this time yum installed them without 
asking for the i686 packages, which implies that the problem is with yum.

I'll continue this on the Fedora Test list, and once again sorry for the 
noise.
