[Leaplist] yum/rpm problem ....

[Kyle Gonzales]

Ah so the problem is that the i386 version of the rpm package is not
installed, and the i386 version of rpm-libs and rpm-devel wants it as
a dependency.  So... try this:

# yum -y install rpm.i386

Then try your upgrade.  Let me know how that works.
