I have copyed the files /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc from the package redhat-rpm-config-8.0-1.noarch.rpm to their proper directory and the problem was solved. This seems to configure a bug not in rpm-build, but in redhat-rpm-config, so I believe that this bug should be reassigned to the latter package. Yes. redhat-rpm-config is overloading %foo section markers with macros. That means that if you, day, have innocent %install in a comment, then redhat-rpm-config will cause that token to be expanded into several lines of text that can/will cause strange behavior. Jeff, You are correct. There was a %install in the changelog and that was causing the error. Thanks for your help. |
