 From a quick eyeball of the provides and requires, this looks more  
like a packaging than a depsolver problem.

Dependencies are logical assertions, and the "i586" packages satisfy  
the needed dependency assertions.

Specifically:
     Provides: kopete
implies that "i586" packages are an adequate replacement for all  
"x86_64" packages.

You can always upgrade the packages manually, choosing "x86_64"  
rather than "i586" packages, and rerun smart.
