For some reason installing linux_base as a dependency on am64 fails 
(because it tries to install amd64.rpm). If you install linux_base 
directly first and java after sucessfull linux installation, it works.

Dunno why the other approach doesn't work tho, my guess is that the 
build process passes the correct, but for linux wrong platform amd64 to 
some underlying install process.

Just my 2 cents,
