        Eww.  This is not good - the code used to compare the package
ages is take directly from the Python RPM bindings - we actually make a
call to rpm.labelCompare() which is implemented inside the rpm-python
shared library.  I'll check Red Hat's bugzilla and if encessary submit a
bug about this.  I don't think we can do much, since we don't want to be
in the business of comparing RPM ages...  that gets ugly real quick.

        This is definitely somewhere in the Current code - I'll try to
take a look at it tonight / tomorrow / this weekend.  I'm not /too/
surprised at this, but having it warn me about symlink issues on
different archs doesn't really seem quite right.  :)

        Except for the PHP thing above, you really shouldn't have to do
that anymore - or, at least, we'd hoped so...
