Description of problem:
How am I supposed to rebuild HelixPlayer-1.0.5-0.EL4.1.src.rpm on x86_64? It just fails:

$ rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'debug_package %{nil}' --target=i386 \
 HelixPlayer-1.0.6-0.EL4.1.src.rpm
...
+ python build/bin/build -t release -k -y -j4 -m hxplay_gtk_release -p green
-P helix-client-all-defines-free player_all

--- Build System Error ------------------------------------
System detection failed for unknown Linux system.
-----------------------------------------------------------

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.53244 (%build)
...
---end---

Without --target=i386 it isn't working at all, saying error: Architecture is
excluded: x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
HelixPlayer-1.0.5-0.EL4.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see description

Actual Results:  build error

Expected Results:  success

Additional info:

Comment 1 Radek Bíba 2005-09-27 11:14:07 UTC
Sorry for the confusion, the file in the rpmbuild command should really be
HelixPlayer-1.0.5-0.EL4.1.src.rpm. However, version *6* is still affected.

Comment 2 Martin Kočí 2007-06-27 09:31:46 UTC
Version of HelixPlayer-1.0.6-0.EL4.2.0.2 is affected as well with the same errors.

Comment 3 Radek Bíba 2011-01-25 08:23:22 UTC
HelixPlayer is no longer part of the distro. Closing bug.
