Description Pekka Savola 2000-04-15 23:33:58 UTC 
Using Rh6.1 system with RPM 3.0.3.

rpm --rebuild mkinitrd-2.4.1-2.src.rpm fails:

----
Processing files: mkinitrd
File not found: /var/tmp/mkinitrd-root/usr/man/man8/mkinitrd.8.gz
----

In spec file, change
----
%attr(644,root,root) /usr/man/man8/mkinitrd.8.gz
---- to
%attr(644,root,root) /usr/man/man8/mkinitrd.8*
----

And rebuilding will do fine even if the pages weren't compressed.
