Package: rpm
Version: 4.14.2.1+dfsg1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
On my 32-bit ARM system (armhf architecture), the value for the
%{_target} macro returned `rpm` or `rpmbuild` does not match the
directory names in `/usr/lib/rpm/platform`. Subsequently, rpm-package
builds fail as the macros
defined in `/usr/lib/rpm/platform/%{_target}` are not included, e.g.
%{_arch} is not defined in that case.
In particular, `rpm -E '%{_target}'` returns `armv7hnl-linux`, however
the respective directory is called `armv7hnl-linux-gnueabihf`.
Workaround: Creating a sym-link (`ln -s armv7hnl-linux-gnueabihf
armv7hnl-linux`) resolves the issue as the correct macros are
included, but is obviously not a proper solution.
It seems this issue is not present for other architectures (e.g.
x86_64) as the values returned by `rpm` and the directory names in
`/usr/lib/rpm/platform` match there.
