So based on the links you provided. The EPEL package fails on a ppc64 
build. The successful fedora package build seems to only build for i386 
and x86_64. My guess is this is where the issue lies. Does the previous 
version build on ppc64? If so you may need someone to figure out why the 
newer version does not. If it never really built on pppc64 I would 
imagine you could ad an ExcludeArch: ppc64 and be done with it. If there 
are ppc64 binary versions then I'm not sure what the correct way forward 
is. You could talk to upstream about the build failure on ppc64 and see 
if they can help resolve it... In any case these are just my 
observations about the failure I see above.

Good luck,
