Sounds sensible. :-)

No offense, but I'd generally look at the system administration
practices of wherever you are. You've had pretty much the same problem
two or three times now (32bit binaries on a 64bit machine where they had
no business of being) and now it looks like some Debian package content
on a Fedora machine. No idea what you have there, but could it be
something like Puppet running wild and deploying stuff where it really
shouldn't?

Good luck,

Thomas
