I haven't checked if that's the > case here. The only 0.6.7 packages I found did not run the test suites, so they wouldn't have seen this problem. If anyone would like to give substantive direction on fixing the problem, that would be appreciated. I found only the following regarding x86_64 related issues: http://lists.logilab.org/pipermail/xml-projects/2005-June/000372.html > > people interested in x86_64 > > practically had no chance to look at this problem and help fixing before the > > package was pushed.

I was unpleasantly surprised to see this pushed with ExcludeArch and > "build good" comment about two hours after my "...if you end up needing to > exclude x86_64..." comment. Sorry about the early push; I was in the middle of many other tasks that day and forgot that this one should have percolated for a while. For some reason, I thought failed builds went to the list, but I see that I was mistaken. (That was why the package languished originally -- to allow time for comment.) Since the package does work on i386 and ppc, once I have help with the x86_64 problem, I can add the patch and make a new release. So in summary, does this plan suffice?: 1. File bug as noted above, attaching build.log and blocking this bug and "FE-ExcludeArch-x64" 2. Note number in an additional comment in this bug, since this one is referenced in %changelog in xmldiff package currently, per Ville's request earlier 3. Send email to f-extras-l requesting x86_64 assistance (e.g. Hans?), referencing new bug 4.
