In this case, it should not matter which one it uses.  If the dependency is on
"tinylogin", then either of them fulfills the dependency.  RPM should be
selecting which one to bring in using it's internal policy manager.  (I believe
the default is that 64-bit wins...)

For libraries where it does matter, the dependency system should already be
finding the correct architecture for the library.

This does raise an issue in my mind though.  Is an architecture for "tasks"
justifiable?  Why isn't the task-core-boot an all or noarch package?

Is there any difference between a task-core-boot and "lib32-task-core-boot"?

Should we expect a difference between the two?
