Specifying dependency to 32 bits packages.

[Łukasz Tasz]

Hi Panu,

finaly I managed to specify depenency,
in rh6 it't reccomended to use only yum, and dependencies
glibc(x86-32) works fine.
unfortunately it does not work for pure rpm installation but this is
now not so important (of course would be great to find common
definition form yum and rpm.)

anyway thanks for help
best regards
Lukasz
