Since I hit this, I'd imagine other people might. If your package has: BuildArch: noarch It will set %{_target_cpu} to "noarch". If you also use %ifarch in that spec file, you might be expecting it to match %{_arch} (the architecture of the build server). It does not. It matches %{_target_cpu}. If you need to conditionalize on the value of %{_arch} in such a spec file, you need to do it explicitly: %if %{_arch} == x86_64 || %{_arch} == i686 Hope that helps other folks, ~tom == Fedora Project -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
