Architecture Change

I inadvertently installed i686 on a 64 bit capable machine. I didn't realize this for a few weeks and a lot of customization has been done which is why I ask this question. Is there an easy/convenient way to switch the architecture of the installed packages to x86_64? I can, of course, backup files and do a reinstall, but thought I would at least ask the question.

There's a wiki page for everything.

Re: Architecture Change

Thanks! I did a search but apparently I didn't use the right terms.
