Description Yaakov Selkowitz 2015-12-16 23:04:47 UTC
mintlocale is BuildArch: noarch but uses %{_libdir}/linuxmint/ in %files.  As a noarch package can be built on any builder, depending on which it ends up on, the value of %{_libdir} can vary.  You've been lucky until now that, as frequently happens with noarch packages, mintlocale has been built on armv7 machines where _libdir == lib.  If, however, mintlocale were to be built on a 64-bit system, the build would fail because this package uses /usr/lib/linuxmint which would not match %{_libdir}/linuxmint.

This affects all versions of Fedora as well as epel7.

I'm trying to build Cinnamon 2.8 for RHEL 7.2 (*), and I hit this bug trying to build mintlocale on x86_64:

[rpmbuild@localhost ~]$ rpmbuild --rebuild mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.fc23.src.rpm
...
Processing files: mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.el7.noarch
error: Directory not found: /home/rpmbuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.el7.x86_64/usr/lib64/linuxmint
...


I fixed it by just hard-coding /usr/lib in the %files section instead of using the macro:

-%{_libdir}/linuxmint/
+/usr/lib/linuxmint/

You could have used --target=noarch to build on 64bit

rpmbuild --rebuild --target=noarch mintlocale/mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.fc24.src.rpm

That doesn't help for a mock or koji build.
