Description Sam Varshavchik 2000-12-24 04:59:53 UTC 
Getting a bunch of errors like this:

Finding  Requires: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires)...
objdump: /var/tmp/courier-install/etc/init.d/courier: File format not
recognized
objdump:
/var/tmp/courier-install/usr/lib/courier/libexec/authlib/authdaemond: File
format not recognized

This is why:

[mrsam@localhost rpm]$ file
/var/tmp/courier-install/usr/lib/courier/share/esmtpd
/var/tmp/courier-install/usr/lib/courier/share/esmtpd: Bourne shell script
text executable


The grep in find-requires now thinks that this is a binary executable.
Comment 1 Sam Varshavchik 2001-01-13 23:50:04 UTC 
This problem still exists in beta2.
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2001-02-21 19:11:21 UTC 
Changing component.
Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2001-03-23 16:09:42 UTC 
The root cause for the problem is a change to /etc/magic in the file package
that
broke logic in find-requires. FWIW, the error message is harmless.

Comment 5 Jeff Johnson 2001-06-06 17:37:59 UTC 
Fixed (by more carefully qualifying file(1) output) in rpm-4.0.3-0.32.
Comment 6 eric gerbier 2001-07-16 15:40:29 UTC 
I solve the problem in rpm-build-4.0.2-8, with a little change in
/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires :
my new line 9 is :

exelist=`echo $filelist | xargs -r file | grep ":.*executable" | grep -v script
| cut -d: -f1 `
