Multilib Issue with zlib #52

Description

@sharkannon

Trying to install on CentOS 7 and keep running into:

`Error: /Stage[main]/Xm_jenkins_common::Slave/Package[zlib.i686]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install zlib.i686' returned 1: Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

     1. You have an upgrade for zlib which is missing some
        dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
        solve this by installing an older version of zlib of the
        different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
        yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
        requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
        --exclude zlib.otherarch ... this should give you an error
        message showing the root cause of the problem.

     2. You have multiple architectures of zlib installed, but
        yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
        If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
        can remove the one with the missing update and everything
        will work.

     3. You have duplicate versions of zlib installed already.
        You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

   ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
   this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
   do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
   much more problems).

   Protected multilib versions: zlib-1.2.7-17.el7.i686 != zlib-1.2.7-15.el7.x86_64`
