Or, some packager forgot to use %{?_isa} when specifying package
dependencies which are [or become] architecture-dependent. This is
a common and *systematic* error which causes much grief. None of
the tools check for it, which is another bug^W"opportunity for
enhancement".
Is there any information about when this should be used? I don't
think I've ever written a spec file that uses it.
