rpm AARCH64 installer has x86_64 binary

[smerschjohann]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: irrelevant
• Local OS: -
• Remote OS: Fedora
• Remote Architecture: aarch64
• code-server --version: 4.113.0 (rpm installer)

I install it in a container image (downgrade to 4.112.0 fixes it directly)

Docker setup:
[...]
[3/3] STEP 3/9: ARG CODE_SERVER_VERSION=v4.113.0
--> 4df84b99fee8
[3/3] STEP 4/9: USER root

[3/3] STEP 5/9: RUN curl -LO https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/${CODE_SERVER_VERSION}/code-server-${CODE_SERVER_VERSION#v}-${TARGETARCH}.rpm && dnf install -y code-server*.rpm && rm code-server*.rpm && dnf install -y openssh-server && dnf clean all && rm -rf /var/cache/yum

running the container leads to:

x86_64-binfmt-P: Could not open '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2': No such file or directory

which is a qemu error, triggered by the wrong architecture for the binary

A further investigation also confirms it:

[d0e02e399785 /]$ rpm -qa |grep code-server
code-server-4.113.0-1.aarch64
[d0e02e399785 /]$ file /usr/lib/code-server/lib/node
/usr/lib/code-server/lib/node: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=88528a344cb9f708718e084e7b8ed3364d2483c4, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped, too many notes (256)

Steps to Reproduce

1. use a fedora base image
2. install rpm package on aarch64
3. check via file tool

Expected

node is a aarch64 binary

Actual

node is a amd64 / x86_64 binary

if I should guess, I would say it is this change: 6b36d4e#diff-e426ed45842837026e10e66af23d9c7077e89eacbe6958ce7cb991130ad05adaL120

I've run into the same issue with code-server_4.113.0_arm64.deb which I installed via dpkg -i over the previous code-server v4.112.0 on a aarch64 based Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS system.

After reenabling & restarting the service the following message was logged:
/usr/lib/code-server/bin/code-server: 28: exec: /usr/lib/code-server/lib/node: Exec format err

removing the updated package and reinstalling code-server v4.112.0 worked, so I'm now on the prior version until a new release is available.

I'm running into the same issue with version 4.113.0, using the standalone install method. Running in an arm64 Docker container. Expecting aarch64 (arm64) node binary, but receiving x86_64 / amd64 node binary. Installing version <=4.112.0 has no issues.
