[Robert Scheck]

robert reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
Builds for EPEL 7 for aarch64 are currently failing due to a dependency issue that should
be satisfied by the "build" repository (RHEL 7):

```
DEBUG util.py:439:   --> intltool-0.50.2-7.el7.noarch
DEBUG util.py:439:   --> gettext-0.19.8.1-2.el7.aarch64

DEBUG util.py:439:             Requires: git
DEBUG util.py:439:   You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
DEBUG util.py:439:   You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have no idea. git is there in the repo and I can easily install it and getttext-devel on
a rhel7 aarch64 box. 

@ausil any ideas?

some ideas - do all arches have same NVR for the packages, that can't be resolved?
Isn't there problem with aarch64 missing z-stream updates?

Currently it feels like I can not rebuild any !noarch package for EPEL 7 due to this.

Okay, @ausil tracked this down:

```
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-rpms/Packages/git-1.8.3.1-11.el7.aarch64.rpm
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-rpms/Packages/git-1.8.3.1-5.el7.aarch64.rpm
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-rpms/Packages/git-1.8.3.1-6.el7_2.1.aarch64.rpm
```

but

```
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/Packages/git-all-1.8.3.1-11.el7.noarch.rpm
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/Packages/git-all-1.8.3.1-12.el7_4.noarch.rpm
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/Packages/git-all-1.8.3.1-5.el7.noarch.rpm
/mnt/fedora/app/fi-repo/rhel/rhel7/aarch64/rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/Packages/git-all-1.8.3.1-6.el7_2.1.noarch.rpm
```

Package `git-all-1.8.3.1-12.el7_4.aarch64.rpm` is missing (at least).

So @ausil's conclusion/result was that the server didn't sync/mirror properly:
"the aarch64 sync is failing", "it is trying to download only noarch
packages", "and its failing to download them"

@ausil fixed it; "reposync has been failing, the paths were were using are
wrong", "I have it fixed". Finally the building works again :)
