Description of problem: There was a recent change to pm-utils to make it depend on vbetool. Since vbetool is x86 specific this prevents pm-utils and hence the majority of the gnome rpms since they depend on pm-utils. I am unclear as to the "right" thing being pm-utils not depending on vbetool for non-x86 OR gnome not depending on pm-utils but one or the other will be needed in order for Fedora to work on non-x86. I am running into this while trying to bring up Fedora on ia64 so I imagine those working on bringing up sparc and arm on Fedora are seeing this as well. I also imagine this is an issue for ppc. I am open to suggestions on how we can make this portable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pm-utils-0.99.4-3.fc8 worked OK in pm-utils-0.99.3-11.fc8
After looking at the spec file I see that ppc and ppc64 are already accounted for: %ifnarch ppc ppc64 Requires: vbetool %endif Can we update this to include ia64 (and for that matter sparc and arm since I know others are in the process of bringing up fedora on those arches as well). Or, perhaps it would be better to change this to something along the lines of: %ifarch i386 x86_64 However I am not sure if this is the correct syntax.
