Is that explained somewhere in the packaging guidelines? I have made
the error
several time. Actually, I did not know %{_isa} before reading the current
thread.
If true, this is completely horrid --- this means every single package I
own is broken, and probably 75% of everything else is too. Can't we get
this fixed in RPM, rather than having to kluge it in the specfiles?
