Description Richard Prescott 2003-10-31 00:16:33 UTC
Description of problem:

In a .spec file, when using %files -f file.list, if one of the files in
file.list finish with a %, rpmbuild choke on this file.  I know it is unusual
but it happens (to me at least).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rpm-build-4.2-0.69 on a fresh installed machines + updates.

I didn't test if % is contain within the file neither if the file list is embbed
in the .spec.

% is used as a marker for macro expansion, escape
(as in rewrite as %%) if you absolutely must have % in a file name.
