Um. Is there really a bug here? I thought Mamoru had it correct, and the bug was in the spec: it declared noarch but used %_libdir, which is not valid and makes no sense, %_libdir being inherently arch-dependent. It shouldn't be expected for %_libdir to 'work' in a noarch build, AFAICT, and if anything, the behaviour of always expanding to /usr/lib for a noarch build is probably the most sensible thing to do. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
