See https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1839 - From my comments in the patch review thread: Rel-eng was complaining that we had python modules contained in an arch-specific package that were being put on disk in a noarch location. Rel-eng made the incorrect assumption that this meant that the modules were actually arch-specific, which they are not; SSSDConfig is pure-python and safely noarch. The correct solution to this is for us to add a python-sssdconfig noarch subpackage and Requires: it from the 'sssd' package (for backwards compatibility). Basically, it's generally considered incorrect for an arch-specific package to be putting files into %{python_sitelib} -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlFUOlMACgkQeiVVYja6o6NdDQCfQzhFiym2Jz7GUdJYn9i/14nu h00An29n8X8sbYM3SFdg/oOa8Jl8YXku =f3nV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
