Yum being confused about how to resolve _everything_?

gstreamer-plugins-bad.x86_64  gets updated to 0.10.17-4

gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras  requires  gstreamer-plugins-bad = 0.10.17-2
which is the previous release (and not the latest 0.10.17-4 from February).

Both releases are in the repository. Multiarch, x86_64 *and* i686. The
dependency is arch-independent.

gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras.x86_64 is happy with gstreamer-plugins-bad.i686
because that one exists in the needed version 0.10.17-2 (and 0.10.17-4),
and gstreamer-plugins-bad.x86_64 can be upgraded to the 0.10.17-4 (except
that the -bad-free package is missing).
