Fixed. check-rpms actually knows that Fedora and Fedoralegacy only use
i386. Thus, if a particular architecture of an rpm is not in the list
of architecture directories check-rpms will now use a default arch directory
(which is i386 for Fedora and Fedoralegacy; i586 for SuSE).

New version check-rpms-3.0.2-1.noarch.rpm available from
http://www.sfu.ca/acs/security/linux/check-rpms-3.0.2-1.noarch.rpm
