Hi
I noticed my ppc64 builds failing today. Going through the build logs, I noticed that yum pulled in a lot of ppc packages for no apparent reason.
Blacklisting *.ppc works around this issue, but this was not necessary yesterday.
Looking at http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/ppc64/Packages/ I notice a lot of ppc packages in there. I don't remember seeing them before.
Is this an error, or was it done on purpose?

They were there at release time and for multilib reason What's the issue you're seeing ?

Makes sense, but in that case I don't quite understand what happened.

Unless I blacklist *.ppc, yum is pulling in ppc packages for no good reason.
Even building an SRPM was not possible due to conflicts: https://japsand.x2go.org:8443/view/All%20ppc64be%20(nightly)/job/x2godesktop...
Note that none of these ppc packages were actually necessary.
I went on and blacklisted individual ppc packages, which helped with building the SRPM, but then failed at compile time. The build log for this sadly isn't helpful in determining why this was the case, but for completion sake: https://japsand.x2go.org:8443/view/All%20ppc64be%20(nightly)/job/x2godesktop...
Turned out that for the actual build process, qt-devel.ppc was installed instead of qt-devel.ppc64, which lead to a 32bit qmake being used and the build fail later on, since I explicitly excluded util-linux.ppc, p11-kit.ppc and diffutils.ppc previously. It's good that it failed, though, since I never intended to get ppc binaries out of that build.
After blacklisting *.ppc, the correct ppc64 binaries were pulled in and builds finished successfully again.
The weird part is that builds succeeded without problems only 36 hours or so ago. Something changed, but I can't tell what exactly.
