It affected some mingw32 packages as well IIRC -- they are noarch and can be built anywhere, but we wanted to %check them using wine which only runs on i386.

See if you can modify the package to do runtime determinism of whether the dependency is there, and only use that functionality if it's present. Personally I think that if that can't be done, then option 1 is the right way to go. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Sadly this is a nasty situation. (I'm in the same boat with munin). There are 2 answers, neither ideal (I'd love to hear better): 1. Make your package archfull. Add ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch. 2. Leave it noarch and ExcludeArch: ppc64, then try and keep rebuilding it until you hit a non ppc builder. I tried various other things, none of which worked. ;( kevin signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
