Currently I have perl/perl-base, perl-URPM, kernel, rpm ans few perl modules 
as x86_64 rpm only.

BTW there is an issue with perl dependancies, my perl-base requires modules in 
x86_64/ directory, but nothing prevent installing perl module i586, but it 
will not work because located in i386 directory.

It should be the same, but I am using cooker rpms, and these rpm are not up to 
date compare to rc2, this sucks, I don't know if I should rebuild and upload 
missing rpm or uploading rpms gwenole build. This is a big problem. See 
Oden's mail.
