Description of problem: The definition of the macro %{_host} is different in beehive and RPM as shipped in Fedora Core. For i386, the beehive definition is i386-redhat-linux-gnu, while in FC's rpm it is i686-redhat-linux-gn Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beehive ? rpm-4.4.2-24.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm --rebuild a package that uses %{_host} (e.g. gtk2). 2. Compare with stable's or Rawhide's version of the same package. Actual results: The will be different in some way. For the case of gtk2, the rebuilt package will contain a directory named /etc/gtk-2.0/i686-redhat-linux-gnu while FC's RPM will have /etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu Expected results: They should produce the same results. Additional info: This results in broken functionality when packages assume that the definition of %{_host} is the same everywhere and result in unexpeted things. On my machine with a rebuilt gtk2, this resulted in breaking librsvg2 and libwmf's %post scripts which resulted in gnome-games not working. bug 143950 and bug 143547 are also related to this.

Is redhat-rpm-config installed in both cases?
I(In reply to comment #1) > Is redhat-rpm-config installed in both cases? I really have no clue about beehive, but redhat-rpm-config was/is installed on the box that I tested rpm --rebuild on.
Assigning to beehive guru, CC'ing plague and brew gurus.
Is this still the case with current packages?
I think it only happens with beehive. Latest rawhide gtk2 package (gtk2-2.10.1-1) that is built with brew (?) uses i686, which is the same definitions shipped with rpm.
OK, closing, as beehive is retired.
