Description

The Redhat kernel RPM the following dependencies:

rpm -q --provides kernel-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.ppc64
kernel = 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6
kernel-ppc64 = 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6
...

The Lustre client module requires the following kernel:

rpm -q --requires lustre-client-modules-2.6.92-2.6.32_431.29.2.el6.ppc64_g33984c0.ppc64
...
kernel = 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.ppc64
...

This leads to the situation that the client modules can't be installed.
Fix is to add the line:

-e 's/\.ppc64$//'

to line

%define krequires %(bash -c "echo %{kversion} | sed -e 's/\.x86_64$//' -e 's/\.i[3456]86$//' -e 's/-smp$//' -e 's/-bigsmp$//' -e 's/-ppc64$//' -e 's/-default$//'")
