Public bug reported: it looks like it is not possible to install both libaio and libaio-i386. One is trying to remove the header file installed by other and this step fails. I guess the header file should be the same i.e. supporting both 32 and 64 bit architecture (it may be so but it looks like the packages are not aware of it)
