You can do a gdb backtrace, if you have python and rpm debuginfo ?

Haven't seen this platform problem when using rpm 5.2.0 so far, no.

It should be the same logic applied for both types of rpm channels:

             if rpm.archscore(arch) == 0:
                 continue

Do you get similar results for the rpmdir and metadata tests too ?

make test TEST="tests/rpmdir.txt tests/metadata.txt"
