[opensuse-buildservice] Failing to build ppc64 locally: ... '/usr/bin/rpmdb': No such file or directory
Hi all,
I'm struggling to build a package with the ppc64 architecture for openSUSE:Factory:PowerPC locally for testing purposes. I always get
osc build --no-verify openSUSE_Factory_PowerPC ppc64
[...] [ 2s] [32/32] preinstalling rpm... [ 2s] [ 2s] initializing rpm db... [ 2s] chroot: failed to run command No such file or directory
I'd like to build devel:languages:python/python-typed-ast locally because of https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171573 for debugging purposes. Adding --clean to the command does not make a difference. Does someone know how I can fix the problem? Any help is appreciated.
best wishes, Sebastian

Strange, Are you trying from an x86_64 host ? I am able to build locally on a ppc64 qemu guest (on a PowerPC host)

in case you build on x86_64 you could try
osc build --vm-type=qemu ....
btw

Yes, I have a x86_64 host

Thanks, with that I am able to take a step forward, but get another build error later:

Is a PowerPC host required? I also tried to pre-install qemu by adding it to the extra packages in oscrc.
best regards Sebastian
Hi all,
I now got it working by installing the package 'qemu-ppc' on the *host* and using this command line:
osc build --vm-type qemu openSUSE_Fectory_PowerPC ppc64
I hope this also helps others.
