Here?s some information about my system:
> uname -a
Linux XXX.localdomain 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Jul 7 18:22:55 CDT 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
> rpm -qa |grep mysql
(nothing)
>  rpm -qa --qf '%{name}.%{version}.%{release} %{arch}\n' | grep i686
(nothing)
>  rpm -qa --qf '%{name}.%{version}.%{release} %{arch}\n' | grep i386
(nothing)

I?m running this machine inside VMware Server and VMware package was
installed once, but I?ve removed it. I also have removed some two i386 other
packages that were installed, and also some (one or two) i686 packages.

As you can see, yum is asking to install i386 and i686 packages. It was
expected to ask only for x86_64 , wasn?t it?

Not really. There are x86 packages in the x86_64 tree for compatiblity
reasons. Since you didn't specify "which" arch you want to
install, or
exclude, it matches the first one it hits, which is the i386 version.
This has been covered at quite some length in the mailing list
archives, on the order of around 2-3 times a month. Mostly, you can
exclude the x86 arches, or give the install a specific arch to look
for. Search the archives for exact syntax.
