Were does it sets the _libdir to /usr/lib ? In the spec file (%ifarch) or in
rpmbuild?
if it's in rpmbuild, this is a behaviour change between fc17 and fc18.....
I'll need to change the package then.... It may be a problem in some package in
the future.
If it's in the spec file, it should be easy to fix. forcing the variable using
--define '%_libdir %{_prefix}/lib64' is IMHO unsure as some system variables
are overridden.
The problem is that in the past, rpmbuild was basic and was unable to build a
multiarch rpm. If the main package was a arch package, then a subpackage (even
if BuildArch:noarch was specified) was build as a %arch.rpm.
Thus, the trick was to protect subpackage with %ifarch noarch and build using
rpmbuild --target x86_64,noarch xxx.spec for example. (2 build triggered).
torque (if I'm correct) is such a package for example. If you build it using
rpmbuild -bb torque.rpm, 2 noarch packages are not build (doc, ...).
Now, if a rpm wants sub packages of different types it's possible. just add the
correct BuildArch: tag in the sub package and if it's a noarch it'll wuild as
such.
The problem of this change of behaviour may have been introduced to resolve the
BuildArch: ix86 where the %_libdir must be correctly set. It also assumes that
noarch libdir is in /usr/lib which is somehow correct.
unfortunately, in some situation (mainly old packages), this produces
inconcistency betwen arch and noarch subpackages. and we've just hit one of
them.
I'll search for a clean solution tomorrow.

Olivier.
