Here is a nice way to do it:

Using RHEL3 (with bi-arch support becoming very prevalent), I find it
helpful to change my default rpm query format

> $ cat ~/.rpmmacros
> %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
> $

This makes a sample query give the arch information, which is very helpful
when debugging bi-arch issues:

> # rpm -q pam
> pam-0.75-56.s390
> pam-0.75-56.s390x
> #
