Description Paschalis Korosoglou 2010-08-14 15:05:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

Trying to build an rpm with BuildRequires dependancy on mpich2-devel I get an error using Koji (building fails) as it installs both i386 and x86_64 rpms. However a post install script fails with exit code !=0 (something having to do with the other arch beeing installed first) and this breaks the building procedure. In effect this means that whenever mpich2-devel is required by another package building on Koji will fail. ExcludeArch or ExclusiveArch spec tags do not remedy the situation. 

I have bypassed the problem by using the following line:

BuildRequires: libTraceInput.so()(64bit)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mpich2-devel.1.2.1-3.el5.i386.rpm

How reproducible:

Include the following line in a spec file and submit the build to a Koji interface. 

BuildRequires: mpich2-devel

Actual results:

DEBUG util.py:256:  /usr/bin/mp32-mpicc has not been configured as an alternative for mpicc
DEBUG util.py:256:  error: %post(mpich2-devel-1.2.1-3.el5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 2

Can you please post the link to the failed koji build? I'm intrigued on how you get both i386 and x86_64 rpms installed to satisfy mpich2-devel dependency.
Comment 2 Paschalis Korosoglou 2010-08-16 06:48:48 UTC 
The Koji interface I am using is koji.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr (number 0 on [1]) and I am afraid that for the moment access is limited to only a few people. 

The thing is I only need one of these packages for the build (just x86_64 in my case). However Koji tries to install both and fails. If you suggest that this behavior is problematic on the Koji side then I will further discuss the issue with the Koji administrator. 

Best,
Paschalis

Can you attach the root and build logs from the koji instance then? Otherwise I'm afraid I have to close this bug as 'INSUFFICIENT_DATA'

I think there's something wrong with that setup, mpich2 SHOULD NOT be requiring both i386 and x86_64 packages for building on x86_64 (unless it is being forced somehow).
