Description dani 2017-02-04 09:15:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
Package 'info' provides macros in the file /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.info:
The %info_requires macro requires /usr/sbin/install-info
yet the 'info' package provides /sbin/install-info (note the missing /usr/ prefix).

When using as intended in a SPEC file, rpmbuild fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1-3

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a spec file with tag '%info_requires'
2. rpmbuild -ba pkg.spec
3. dnf install pkg

Actual results:
Error: nothing provides /usr/sbin/install-info needed by pkg

Expected results:
pkg installed

Additional info:
Package 'info' provides /sbin/install-info
Comment 1 dani 2017-02-04 09:18:04 UTC 
I don't know which is correct - rebuilding 'info' to place it's files in /usr/sbin/... or modifying the macro to require /sbin/... instead of /usr/sbin
