yum 3.2.20 returns None for arch of gpg-pubkey packages

Yum 3.2.20 on SLES 11.1 returns None (instead of "noarch") for the arch attribute of gpg-pubkey packages. This breaks YUMng, which expects "noarch" (which is what happens with, e.g. yum 3.2.22 on CentOS 5.5). For example:

import yum yb = yum.YumBase?() for pkg in yb.rpmdb.searchNevra(name='gpg-pubkey'):

... print "%s.%s" % (pkg.name, pkg.arch) ... gpg-pubkey.None

I've attached a patch that backports some functionality from the YUM24.py tool to scrub package epochs and archs that are set to None and make the YUMng.py tool more resilient.
