[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpm ignores architecture when creating self-erasures (#408)

[Panu Matilainen]

Remembered this while poking around in the neighborhood...

I'm not convinced that foo-1-1.i686 should be considered an upgrade over foo-1-1.i586 - architecture never was part of version comparison. That said, the current behavior is not sensible either, I think the right thing to do here would be erroring out with "package is already installed".

Note that you can nowadays do rpm --reinstall to switch between different architectures with same NEVR.
