Description manuel wolfshant 2006-12-10 10:52:31 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a spec which includes %changelog twice
2.run rpmlint against either the source or the binary rpm

  
Actual results:
none

Expected results:
a warning about the duplicate entry should be issued

Additional info:
The problem was seen here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2006-December/msg00666.html.
One can notice that the spec (last lines at the above URL) introduces a
duplicate for the %changelog entry. This error is not detected by rpmlint:
