Description Alexander Suvorov 2005-02-07 14:54:12 EST

Description of problem: 
we can't use files with special wildcard symbols as regular files in 
%files section of spec-file. I.e. file "test-*.txt" 
when we try to add to rpm such file we get message: 
 
error: File not found by glob: <filename> 
 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
rpm-4.2.3-13 
 
How reproducible: 
Every time 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. get attached test.spec file 
2. run rpmbuild -bb test.spec 
3. we've got an error 
   
Actual results: 
we've got an error: 
error: File not found by glob: <filename> 
 
Expected results: 
the rpm must be built succesfully 
 
Additional info: 
I include a simple patch that fixes this bug, but I don't sure that 
this extra check of myGlobPatternP(argv[0]) is completely 
unnecessary. 
 
So, if this check is needed for rpm correct working, please, find 
another way to fix error in processing files with wildcard-symbols 
in it's name. 
 
Patch must be appled to the file build/files.c

Is this at all related to bug #139460 ?  Because I'm experiencing the problem
mentioned in that bug, but on Redhat Enterprise instead of Fedora.

Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2007-01-03 12:18:57 EST

Fixed in rpm cvs, will be in rpm-4.4.8-0.9 when built.
