[CentOS] problem with centos 5.3 upgrade

Hi All, I'm running CentOS 5.3 x86, and recently my yum update isn't running as it should. It pops up with sub conflict messages for i386 packages, which I don't need - even though yum is downloading them. Due to this sub conflict messages, I'm not able to update/install my x86 packages,

Anne, the quoting on this got screwed, I'm not the one with the mail issue, since I build my own KDE builds and generally pull patches from the PIM Enterprise branch (I was the konstruct maintainer, so building from source for me isn't scary). I was commenting on the issue that Timothy was having.
