Description Randy Barlow 2016-11-17 17:04:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
I've been attempting to build Bodhi in EPEL 7[0], but the koji build fails due to not being able to install python-cryptography.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python2-cryptography-1.3.1-3.el7


How reproducible:
Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install python2-cryptography on EPEL 7.


Actual results:
DEBUG util.py:421:  Error: Package: python2-cryptography-1.3.1-3.el7.ppc64 (build)
DEBUG util.py:421:             Requires: python-cffi >= 1.4.1
DEBUG util.py:421:             Available: python-cffi-0.8.6-1.el7.ppc64 (build)
DEBUG util.py:421:                 python-cffi = 0.8.6-1.el7


Expected results:
python2-cryptography should be installable.


Additional info:
EPEL 7 seems to have python-cffi-0.8.6-1[1].

Comment 1 Randy Barlow 2016-11-17 17:19:34 UTC 
I've discovered something that seems pretty confusing. python-cryptography doesn't seem to be packaged for EPEL 7:

Comment 2 Patrick Uiterwijk 2016-11-17 17:38:58 UTC 
This is because python-cryptrogaphy is in x86_64 RHEL7, and your build hit a ppc64 builder.
Retry until you get an x86_64 builder and it'll work.
Comment 3 Randy Barlow 2016-11-17 18:30:01 UTC 
It turns out that this happens because python-cffi is in both EPEL 7 and RHEL 7, and Koji is preferring the EPEL 7 build over the RHEL 7 build.

This seems to be resolved now http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=16498845 thanks to nirik!
