RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

If you try to build a noarch metapackage on 64 bit machine, you'll end up with error like this:

RPM build errors:
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /opt/rh/python27/root/lib64

This is caused by these lines in macros.scl:

%ifarch x86_64 ppc ppc64 sparc sparc64 s390 s390x
%{_scl_root}/%{_lib}
%endif

The problem is, that %ifarch conditionals seems not to expand in %files section. To reproduce this, just write a specfile with %files section like this:

%files
%ifarch <yourarch>
this_file_wont_be_searched_for
%endif

this_file_wont_be_searched_for doesn't exist in BUILDROOT, but RPM raises no error (so this could as well be RPM error, not scl-utils problem).

It'd seem that the same should happen to %{_scl_root}/usr/%{_lib}, which uses the same conditionals, but this is included because there are lots of other directories included inside it, which masks the error.
