Description Paolo Bonzini 2013-10-10 10:29:52 UTC 
While the "multilib regressions" test failure is considered a false positive by rpmdiff itself, it highlights a real problem: on ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x /usr/bin/vscclient is a libtool script rather than a binary.

Version:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-3.el7

Additional info:
Extracting the s390x RPM gives the following information:

$ file usr/bin/vscclient 
vscclient: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
Comment 2 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-10-15 13:41:07 UTC 
To be precise, usr/bin/vscclient is shell script on all non-x86_64 archs - i686 reports shellscript too:

$ file vscclient.*
vscclient.i686:   POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
vscclient.s390:   POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
vscclient.x86_64: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=0xdbf40f6de855b97e5f99b1f290db31588d54b09a, stripped


This is related to different way of build:
x86_64: build as part of whole qemu build
non-x86_64: build separate using make vscclient %{?_smp_mflags} $buildldflags
Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2013-10-17 09:59:29 UTC 
I think it's related to different installation (make install vs. manual install).  For libtool-compiled executables, you need to use "libtool --mode=install ..." instead of "install".
Comment 5 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-11-07 15:55:38 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-17.el7
Comment 7 Shaolong Hu 2014-01-24 09:20:34 UTC 
I fail to locate qemu-kvm package for s390 or any another arch besides x86 in brew, any idea?

Comment 8 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-01-24 09:29:44 UTC 
There's only x86_64 qemu-kvm built now. This BZ describe problem with vssclient that is in libcacard-tools package.

Verified on qemu-kvm-1.5.3-45.el7.x86_64:
