Description of problem: At some point an "@`hostname -s`" was added to the kernel-2.6.spec. Some of my build scripts fail because i have dashes on certain hosts and this error is returned: $ rpm --qf '%{N}\n' -q --specfile kernel-2.6.spec error: line 148: Illegal char '-' in release: Release: 1.1376_FC3.zing@woot-gw error: query of specfile kernel-2.6.spec failed, can't parse I guess this is more of a wishlist than anything. I'm not sure of the repercussions of the dash, but rpm doesn't seem to like it and I change the release names locally here anyway. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 0. verify hostname has a dash in it. ex. "server-gw" 1. install a recent kernel srpm 2. run "rpm --qf '%{N}\n' -q --specfile kernel-2.6.spec" Actual results: get error about illegal char '-' in release Expected results: no error
fixed in kernel in updates-testing
