In that vein it seems "odd" to me that a 32 bit package would be accepted as an
update for a 64 bit package. This seems to be to be a bug.

The reason is that some 64bit users have been using 32bit flash-plugins on 64bit. Repoforge for some time (and now Adobe) offer 64bit flash-plugin packages, but a lot of 64bit users have the 32bit repository enabled.

Hence you get those conflicts.

There is nothing I can do regarding this. Users having problems may have to change their configuration and use the 64bit plugin instead. The only thing that is under my control is keeping the flash-plugin up-to-date.

Which is not that simple, because Red Hat is at flash-plugin v10 and Adobe does not release any security information, nor is there something I can subscribe to to get informed of updates.

Although I did add the 32bit and 64bit repositories to my local mrepo instance.
