[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Strange behavior for multilib (Issue #2837)

[Panu Matilainen]

> What's so special about an identical NEVR? The content may still be different, we had a couple of bug reports about same NEVR with different files and rpm not doing the correct thing.

Because by the very definition of rpm, release must change any time content changes?
That people short-circuit and "cheat" about that in local test builds is a special case that IMO warrants using a special flag/op as well.

"Right thing" wrt this seems as subjective as anything. If you have references to those bugs I'd be interested, but what happens in this scenario doesn't seem right to me either.
