We used to assume that a native package had an arch type of '*' (i.e. it would always be compatible with everything). However, on a mixed 32 and 64 bit platform, we can't use a 64-bit native library with a downloaded 32-bit implementation. I've changed the code to record the type for x86_64 packages so that they won't be selected in combination with 32-bit implementations: http://repo.or.cz/w/zeroinstall.git?a=commit;h=a1980f1fd207d171d480049a1890ffdb0f72ed02 We might need a similar change for RPMs too.
