build this noarch on arm fails but not on a x86_64 , the problem  is reported upstream but is not simple I built successfully  now

DEBUG util.py:283:   perl                     x86_64   4:5.18.2-304.fc22

build on rawhide still use perl 5.18.2 , where did you build your package ?

Comment 3 Jitka Plesnikova 2014-08-28 13:51:49 UTC
The build perl-5.20.0-305.fc22 is not in rawhide, it is in f22-perl. It will be merge to rawhide when Perl mass rebuild finished. 

You can find more info on page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/perl5.20

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2014-09-17 11:41:36 UTC
I rebuild this package against perl 5.20 as debhelper-9.20140613-3.fc22. But that used x86_64 builder, so the reported (ARM) bug is still there.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 8 Sergio Basto 2015-07-21 00:43:15 UTC
Hi, 
the test fails because dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE and dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE have a different result on arm .

Niels Thykier wrote:

I suspect the setup made debhelper believe you were trying to
cross-build the (test) package.

The debhelper "autoconf" build system includes the following piece
(modulo forced line wraps):
"""
# Provide --host only if different from --build, as recommended in
# autotools-dev README.Debian: When provided (even if equal)
# autoconf 2.52+ switches to cross-compiling mode.
if (dpkg_architecture_value("DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE")
    ne dpkg_architecture_value("DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE")) {
        push @opts, "--host=" . dpkg_architecture_value("DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE");
}
"""

Which, at first glance, fits with the extra option triggering a test
failure.

However, I am not able to figure out why this happens (only) on your arm
box.  This might be related to the remark the mapping of dpkg architecture.
If possible, try to compare the output of the following commands in the
arm box with the build failures:
  dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE
  dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE

If they are not byte-for-byte identical, it will currently trigger the
cross-build support and break the test.

I wrote: 

you got it ! [1]
+ dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE
arm-linux-gnu
+ dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE
arm-linux-gnueabi

So what is wrong ? is /bin/dpkg-architecture from dpkg-dev  ?

Niels Thykier wrote:

It is indeed from dpkg-dev.  Its results are based on some data files.
On debian these data files are installed via the "dpkg" package itself
and placed in:

/usr/share/dpkg/triplettable
/usr/share/dpkg/cputable
/usr/share/dpkg/ostable
/usr/share/dpkg/abitable

I assume it is similar for Fedora.

I wrote:

cat /usr/share/dpkg/archtable | grep arm 
arm-linux-gnu                   arm
arm-linux-gnueabi               armel

Should I put armel as arm-linux-gnu or arm as arm-linux-gnueabi :) ? 

Niels Thykier wrote:
Unfortunately, I am not very knowledgeable in the exact layout /
contents of these files - I just know they are the basis for the results
of dpkg-architecture.

You might be better served by talking with the dpkg team here.

Comment 9 Dennis Gilmore 2015-07-21 13:29:33 UTC
armv7hl on fedora is the eqivilent of armhf on debian in fedora however we use triplets different to how debian uses them. likely the mapping between fedora and debina is breaking something

armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnu is what we use for armhf  in debian I think they use arm-linux-gnueabihf
armv7l-redhat-linux-gnu is what we used for the equivalent of armel which i think they use arm-linux-gnueabi for

Hi, 
And what is the best solution ? , instead hacking the test or hardcode dpkg .

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 12:04:19 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

seems that also fails in ppc64le builders
