They are correct.

But the version installed is the i686 version, not the x86_64 version. An important distinction.

I would double check the repositories you have enabled on this machine and make sure they are all pointing to the appropriate processor architecture repos for this machine. It's possible some packages were installed from i686 repos and this machine is now pointed at x86_64 repos, which may or may not require you to uninstall/reinstall certain packages depending on the specific situation.

Thanks @mcapra!

Let us know if you're able to get worked out or if you have any other questions.
