Description C. Ray Ng 2000-04-28 13:56:57 UTC
When source tree includes symbolic link which points non-existent file
and its owner/group is not root, automatically generated script for prep
stage fails at chgrp line.

This bug can be resolved either adding h option to the chgrp command or
specifying "root.root" option to the chown command.  A patch I created is
attached below for your info.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-25 21:22:05 UTC
The _fixowner/_fixgroup/_fixuser macros are being phased
out of rpm's default configuration. Configure per-system
if you want the old behavior.
