 I thought that doing it in a single command would tell yum to update them
both at once, but I have completely forgotten about the "update" command,
which also looks like a logical way to solve this problem.

 I think this could help if a transaction had been interrupted, but in this
case it wasn't even started (successfully, at any rate), because of that
"multilib problem", IIUC.
