CentOS - Sep 2006 - openssl package possibly different in CentOS and RHEL

I've just had a problem on one of my x86_64 boxes with openssl  
package.  I have an 32-bit only application that requires openssl  
libraries.  When I attempted to install openssl.i686 (in addition to  
already present openssl.x86_64), it failed.  The rpm complained about  
conflicting files (they were all manpages), and I needed to use  
--force option to install the thing.

The good folks at Red Hat were not able to reproduce it, and I don't  
have a spare x86_64 box to test it with original RHEL4 myself.

Would be nice if somebody could test installing openssl.i686 (in  
parallel to openssl.x86_64) on x86_64 box, both under CentOS 4 and  
under original RHEL4.  It could be just something wrong with my  
installation, or there might be discrepancy between CentOS and RHEL  
openssl packages.

If you have the RHEL packages, compare the results of "rpm -qlp |
sort"

For CentOS and RHEL.
