There really isn't much of a "primary arch" in that case. This is all wrong. $libexedir is NOT arch specific. But none of the wrong things here really matter. What matters is that systemd.pc and udev.pc are GENERIC files, not arch-dependent. The SECONDARY arch needs to find the GENERIC file, but it will not look into the PRIMARY arch's $libdir. These files just do not belong into $libdir, it is not what they are provided for and it will just not work as intended. Also, that systemd.pc carries $libdir as a variable to point out the PRIMARY arch, is no indication that this file should live in $libdir, quite the opposite is the case.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
