mintlocale is BuildArch: noarch but uses %{_libdir}/linuxmint/ in %files. As a noarch package can be built on any builder, depending on which it ends up on, the value of %{_libdir} can vary. You've been lucky until now that, as frequently happens with noarch packages, mintlocale has been built on armv7 machines where _libdir == lib. If, however, mintlocale were to be built on a 64-bit system, the build would fail because this package uses /usr/lib/linuxmint which would not match %{_libdir}/linuxmint. This affects all versions of Fedora as well as epel7.
I'm trying to build Cinnamon 2.8 for RHEL 7.2 (*), and I hit this bug trying to build mintlocale on x86_64: [rpmbuild@localhost ~]$ rpmbuild --rebuild mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.fc23.src.rpm ... Processing files: mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.el7.noarch error: Directory not found: /home/rpmbuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/mintlocale-1.1.6-0.6.gitfb4118d.el7.x86_64/usr/lib64/linuxmint ... I fixed it by just hard-coding /usr/lib in the %files section instead of using the macro: -%{_libdir}/linuxmint/ +/usr/lib/linuxmint/ (*) https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jbastian/rhel7-cinnamon-2.8/
