I discovered while testing my work on Bcfg2's Yum driver that PO.verify() doesn't handle multiplib packages correctly. I did this testing on the RHEL 6 Beta with pam-1.1.1-4.el6.i686 and pam-1.1.1-4.el6.x86_64 installed. My debug output looked like this:
Verifying: 0:pam-1.1.1-4.el6.x86_64

(The files reported in 'modlist' or 'ignore list' are the files that Bcfg2 is altering or specifically told to ignore, respectively.)
Yum version: yum-3.2.27-12.el6.noarch
Clues to working around this for older Yum versions would also be handy. ;-)
