OK will try again later, thanx! (I do not have openoffice installed btw)

This box isn't running any IA32 stuff, everything is rebuilt from SRPMS or 
installed from tarball and even so I added only about 5 packages or so.

Can I see in any way which packages are IA32?

The output of : rpm -qa | sort | less
would make me believe that several RPMS are installed twice:

cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.15-10
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.15-10
db4-4.1.25-8
db4-4.1.25-8
db4-devel-4.1.25-8

expat-1.95.5-6
fontconfig-2.2.1-13
freetype-2.1.4-4.0
glib-1.2.10-11.1
glibc-2.3.2-95.27
glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.27
and many others

Are these IA32 packages or a messed up RPM database?? (rpm --rebuilddb 
doesn't resolve it though).

Cheers!
