The change in the new specfile for update pine-4.44-1.72.0.src.rpm has a couple of portability problems. From: Chris Adams <cmadams This is the primary problem I've had. For example, the RHL 7.2 pine RPM had: for n in pine pico pilot; do install -c -m 755 -s bin/$n $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/$n done For the errata, someone decided it was "better" to do: install -m 755 bin/{pine,pico,pilot,rpdump,rpload} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/ Why? There is no good reason not to use the more portable loop. And they didn't fix the real problem: the use of /usr/bin instead of %{_prefix}/bin or even better %{_bindir}. :-) ---------------------- This thread from the rpm-list on Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 21:03:27 -0600
