need 32bit rpms in a mock setup for a 64 bit build

[Chris Edsall]

Hi,

I have a x86_64 builder and I am trying to make an x86_64 build. This particular build needs a compiler that is only available as a binary tarball. I have made an RPM out of the tarball, however it has i386 dependancies. When I come to use it in koji (by adding it as a BuildRequires) mock complains because the yum configuration can't satisfy the dependencies:

DEBUG backend.py:603:  /usr/bin/yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/ec5-build-402-251/root/  resolvedep  'zlib-devel' 'valgrind' 'gawk' 'pgi' 'hdf5-devel >= 1.8.4' 'curl-devel'

However the same compiler package installs fine on the command line with the same yum reops configured

[root at cli-dev ~]# yum -y install pgi
 [ ... ]
Installed:
  pgi.x86_64 0:10.3-7                                                                                           

Complete!

It needed these non x86_64 packages:

[root at cli-dev ~]# yum deplist pgi | egrep 'i[3456]86' | sort -u
   provider: alsa-lib.i386 1.0.17-1.el5
   provider: glibc.i686 2.5-49
   provider: IBMJava2-142-ia32-JRE.i386 1.4.2-13.6
   provider: libgcj.i386 4.1.2-48.el5
   provider: libX11.i386 1.0.3-11.el5
   provider: libXext.i386 1.0.1-2.1
   provider: libXi.i386 1.0.1-4.el5_4
   provider: libXtst.i386 1.0.1-3.1

The difference, of course, is that the repo mock is pointing at has been created by mergerepos:

$ /usr/libexec/kojid/mergerepos -a x86_64 -b /mnt/koji/repos/ec5-build/251/x86_64/blocklist -o /tmp/koji/tasks/1382/1382/repo -g /mnt/koji/repos/ec5-build/251/groups/comps.xml -r file:///tmp/koji/tasks/1382/1382/repo_251_premerge/ -r http://10.64.1.239/install/rhels5.5/x86_64/ -r http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/epel/5/x86_64/ -r http://10.64.1.239/install/HPC/ 
Adding repo: file:///tmp/koji/tasks/1382/1382/repo_251_premerge/
Adding repo: http://10.64.1.239/install/rhels5.5/x86_64/ 
Adding repo: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/epel/5/x86_64/ 
Adding repo: http://10.64.1.239/install/HPC/ 

where the -a x86_64 flag appears to be filtering out all the 32 bit packages that are in http://10.64.1.239/install/rhels5.5/x86_64/ 

I get the feeling I'm going about this the wrong way...

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Chris Edsall
