Description of problem: After building and installing gimp-2.10.0 on Fedora 27: # rpm -qf /bin/ls error: Macro %_gimp_datadir has empty body error: Macro %_gimp_libdir has empty body error: Macro %_gimp_sysconfdir has empty body error: Macro %_gimp_localedir has empty body coreutils-8.27-21.fc27.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.10.0-1 How reproducible: very Steps to Reproduce: 1. build gimp 2. 3. Actual results: as above. Expected results: no stupid errors from stupid macros. Additional info:
These macros are defined in the file /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.gimp from the gimp-devel package. I have a hunch that you have other RPM macro files on your system which use these macros, but don't have the gimp-devel package installed so you get these error messages. Can you please run this command on your system (as the user with which you ran the rpm command above) and post the output here? Thanks! fgrep -rl _gimp_ /usr/lib/rpm ~/.rpmmacros

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
