Description Krzysztof Daniel 2012-04-02 06:38:52 UTC 
Most of Eclipse plugins are marked as noarch, while the pdebuild script is actually arch specific.
It is possible that wrong version of pdebuild script is installed on a build server, or the package refers to the wrong version (f.e. 32 bit build refers to the 64 bit path), and the build fails.
Comment 1 Alexander Kurtakov 2012-04-02 07:21:44 UTC 
I don't see how can this happen. We evaluate the path to pdebuild to always be _libdir/eclipse/buildscripts/pdebuild.sh so the only possibility for this to happen is _libdir giving wrong value aka /usr/lib on 64bit or /usr/lib64 on 32bit which is something that I haven't seen in quite some time.
Comment 2 Krzysztof Daniel 2012-04-02 07:43:03 UTC 
I have seen this with mylyn quite often.
I have found multiple reports that when a noarch package is being built, its dependencies can be satisfied either by x86 or by x86_64 package, and they are not matches with the builder platform.

I think we need to use ISA macros:

Comment 3 Krzysztof Daniel 2012-04-11 07:19:52 UTC 
The problem is solved by:
* installing the pdebuild script into bindir (bug 790733)
* having special eclipse macro that is correctly resolved when building noarch packages.
