Hi Martin,
when I started to maintain beakerlib rlGetArch was already pronounced
deprecated. Personally I still use rlGetArch.
rlGetArch do "normalization" which can cause troubles as returned architecture
may not match the arch used in rpms. So it depends on actual usecase. As it is
documented, rlGetArch 'eats' i*86 and ppc64 and produces i386 and ppc respectively.
At the same time there's no reason why rlGetPrimaryArch should produce error.
On systems where the multilib concept is not supported it should just print
info, if any, and return the only arch it supports while rlGetSecondaryArch
should print error and produce non-zero exit code.
Can you file a bug for this at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=beakerlib ?
This should be easyfix so it could get into next release which I'm going to
release soon.

Excerpts from Martin Korbel's message of 2016-10-04 12:37 +00:00:
Hi folks,
Does exist any clean alternatives for rlGetArch on Fedora? We are
using rlGetPrimaryArch on the RHEL systems, but we get error on
Fedora.
version: beakerlib-1.11-1
I'm not sure if any Beakerlib developers are on this list... I have
cc'ed Dalibor directly, hopefully he can give some suggestions on this.
It does indeed seem like rlGetArch and rlGetPrimaryArch are giving
contradictory warnings on Fedora...
