(do people still use this list?)

I so infrequently deal RPM-based systems that this was new to me ... but
it's essential.

echo '%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}'
>>~/.rpmmacros

(shove that all on one line)

This solves the whole 32 vs 64 bit package listing issue.

An aside - I've become quite the SpamAssassin guru.  Catch me in
irc://irc.freenode.com/#spamassassin as khopesh or check out my SA
channels at http://khopesh.com/Anti-spam#Custom_SA_hacks - specifically,
khop-bl will catch far more spam without increasing false positives.
