Public bug reported: We use the rpm tools version 4.12.0.1 that come with Ubuntu Xenial to build packages. However, that very version still has a bug:
https://github.com/rpm-software- management/rpm/commit/104856ea17161eb3a508913c2b7ed701f2e4f6aa On Big-Endian systems (and that's what we use), the Archive-Size field is handled wrongly. ---uname output--- Linux mclinx 4.4.0-83-generic #106-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 26 17:54:02 UTC 2017 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux Machine Type = IBM zSeries 2964 (z13) ---Debugger--- A debugger is not configured ---Steps to Reproduce--- Build an RPM on a 64-bit Big-Endian system on Ubuntu-Xenial and check the Archive-Size field of the built RPM afterwards: rpm -qp --xml example-1.3.0-1.s390x.rpm > example_1.3.0-1_rpm.xml With the broken version you should find contents like these: <rpmTag name="Archivesize"> <integer>0</integer> </rpmTag> In case the Archive-Size is lower than 4GiB you'll always see a "0" as value here. The corrected rpmbuild command should post the correct archive size.
