RPM error: following noarch package built differently on different architectures

[Germano Massullo]

Good day everybody. As some from #fedora-golang channel may know, Fabian
Affolter and I, we are releasing for the first time Bettercap to Fedora
repository. By the way we are getting this build error and we have no
idea about how to fix it
FAILED: BuildError: The following noarch package built differently on
different architectures:
golang-github-bettercap-devel-2.28-4.fc34.noarch.rpm
Since the problem seemed to be s390x architecture, we tried using
"ExcludeArch: s390x" but it did not work.
What should we do? If you want, feel free to use your proven packager
super powers to fix it
Thank you for your time

Did you use %{?isa} in noarch package? This will definitely lead to
noarch_rpmdiff error.

Anyway, can you provide a link to koji build or spec file?

It's caused by a specific Requirement in an amd64 only file:

rg "github.com/chifflier/nfqueue-go/nfqueue"
modules/packet_proxy/packet_proxy_linux_amd64.go
14:     "github.com/chifflier/nfqueue-go/nfqueue"


Check out how I deal with it in golang-x-crypto:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/golang-x-crypto/blob/master/f/golang-x...

Although this might not work for you. In the case of crypto I can safely remove 
golang.org/x/sys/cpu because the package is added through another import path 
(golang.org/x/sys/unix).
In your case you might need to add a 
Requires:  golang(github.com/chifflier/nfqueue-go/nfqueue) to godevelheader
so it has the same deps on all packages and keep amd64 working.

So you need to use both workaround. First exclude github.com/chifflier/nfqueue-
go/nfqueue from automatic requires:

# Avoid noarch package built differently on different architectures
%global __requires_exclude
%{?__requires_exclude:%{__requires_exclude}|}^golang\\(github.com/chifflier/nfqueue-go/nfqueue\\)$

Then re-add it through godevelheader for all arches:

%global godevelheader %{expand:
Requires:               pkgconfig(libnetfilter_queue)
Requires:               golang(github.com/chifflier/nfqueue-go/nfqueue)
}

And voilà: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=50547046
F33: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=50547130

If you want other branches, just git merge master in the one you want.

Since it is hard to make sure every project is perfectly arch-agnostic, 
I lean towards making go modules archful and forget about this class of 
problems. Way too late to fix gopath devel packages, unfortunately
