failed in the rpmdiff stage with

on investigation the files on aarch64 and ppc64 were using 2 inodes
on x86_64, i686, armv7hl, ppc64le, and s390x using 1 inode.
if I manually run the diff with --ignore S changed to N the diff passes
given that we already ignore sizes we should ignore inodes used also

sure, let's ignore stuff! :thumbsup:

This seems mostly harmless, but do we understand why there is a difference across arches? This is actually a little suspicious. It's not the sort of variation I would expect.

Does this replicate? I tried a scratch rebuild of the above and the x86_64 and ppc64 python3-ipaserver rpms do not differ on nlinks.

it did in the numerous attempts to rebuild. given we ignore size, we should also ignore inodes.
