Yes, -debuginfo packages are produced during build if redhat-rpm-config
is installed.
Does you specfile have
%package debuginfo
If so, the name needs to change to something else.
Otherwise, the manner in which redhat-rpm-config is overloading
existing spec file tokens is interfering with that specific
spec file. Try doing
rpm -e redhat-rpm-config
and rebuilding. If that "works", then you will need to adjust
the spec file to follow redhat-rpm-config conventions.
I checked the presence of %package debuginfo in my .src.rpm. There is nothing like this. The package built fine on RH8.0 and RH7.3. 8.0 at least has redhat-rpm-config (I think 7.3 has it too) and everything went fine then. So now comes the question: What has changed in the redhat-rpm-config between RH8.0 and RH9? What has been added? What could be at the origin of my problem? Is it documented somewhere? Daniel Does package rebuild if you do
rpm -e redhat-rpm-config
The -debuginfo is fragile, involves overloading existing
spec file markers like %install and %prep to augment an
existing spec file without any editing. Documented? Surely
you jest ...
Closing due to inactivity. If this issue still occurs with current releases, please reopen and set the release in which you've encountered the problem. |
Description of problem: With some src.rpm files, the command rpmbuild --rebuild produces the following error message that I never saw before: error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo (the package being not installed actually) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@papeete tmp]# rpm --version RPM version 4.2 How reproducible: rpmbuild --rebuild gnome-commander-0.9.12-1.src.rpm Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download gnome-commander-0.9.12-1.src.rpm from sourceforge 2. rpmbuild --rebuild gnome-commander-0.9.12-1.src.rpm Actual results: Installing gnome-commander-0.9.12-1.src.rpm warning: user eljasiak does not exist - using root warning: group eljasiak does not exist - using root error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo Expected results: gnome-commander-0.9.12-1.i386.rpm
