Note that on i686 building buildroot seemed successful (but was canceled due to
x86_64 side buildroot creating failure:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/2571/5212571/root.log
task root:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5212558

And I just remembered that I saw similar strange issue on f18-candidate:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5210441
In this one, creating buildroot on x86_64 was successful, however on i686
it failed. I just withdraw rubygem-glib2-1.2.5-1.fc18 override request and
resubmitted override request, then next time buildroot was correctly created
on both i686 and x86_64.

So I guess repoclosure process is somewhat broken on koji.
