I’ve got i486 and x86_64 bit versions of packages that “satisfy” dependencies for an x86_64 package I’m trying to build. I can’t seem to figure out how to get OBS to prefer/use the x86_64 bit versions of the “Requires:”
I’ve tried listing the isa:
Requires: requiredpackage(x86-64)
and the arch
Required: requiredpackage.x86_64
In both cases the package I’m trying to build says it can’t satisfy the requirement anymore.
Is it possible to indicate what arch I want for a required package?

Hi
Normally rpm should sort that out, does it detect at the end of the
build log?
Project link?

It’s on an internal OBS instance – no external link 
It appears to be because OBS finds i486 before x86_64 – seems like there should be a way to set repo search order. RPM would be capable of sorting this out – but it doesn’t look like OBS is depsolving using RPM since it doesn’t pick up on ISA or Arch requirements in Requires lines.
