Go ahead and install it; Fedora has good support for 32 bit packages
on 64 bit machines.

Because Debian long ago decided to not support 32 bit packages on 64
bit machines,
and we're still paying the price for that decision.  Hence we have to
have a package that pretends it's 64 bits to install a 32 bit app on a
64 bit system
with Debian and distributions derived from it.
