No. rpm should use what is in specspo for Description/Summary/Group. That has been the behavior of rpm since RHL 6.2, and is not going to change. Uninstall the specspo package if you want rpm to use the information in packages. I have not noticed this behaviour on older RHL's (though I never went beyond RHL 7.3). Quite the contrary, on those RHL's, rpm *did* produce the correct output. I do not oncur with the statement that this is the correct behaviour - when the packager adds some description to a package, this is what should be displayed, as the packages knows best what's in a package. I regard this as a bug. At the very least, rpm should displaya message that this is not the correct description of the package but second-guessed due to policies of the distro and give an option to display the correct description. |
