Description Paul Bolle 2025-11-11 13:57:15 UTC
Description of problem:
file /usr/bin/etags is not owned by any package

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
30.2-1.fc42 (but this should still be an issue in rawhide)

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qf /usr/bin/etags 
2.
3.

Actual results:
file /usr/bin/etags is not owned by any package

Expected results:
emacs-common-30.2-1.fc42.x86_64

Additional info:
It seems a line reading
    "%ghost %{_bindir}/etags"

should be added to the "%files common" section of emacs.spec. I'm happy to submit a (mostly untested) pull request that does just that, if that makes it easier for the maintainers to fix this.

Comment 1 Peter Oliver 2025-11-14 17:27:39 UTC
Thanks for the report.  I think we can drop this alternative entirely, since we no longer have any other provider of /usr/bin/etags.
