Comment 1 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2013-02-04 15:04:20 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2013-02-04 18:11:06 UTC

Is the arch ppc64 or ppc64p7? The lorax ppc template checks for the exact string 'ppc64' and defaults to 32bit if it is something different.

Comment 3 Brent Baude 2013-02-04 18:28:40 UTC

This has been fixed in beta and beyond.  Mahesh please verify and close.
