Description Mike Pope 2006-09-20 05:19:05 UTC
Description of problem:
rpmbuild -ta has stopped working, since tar-1.15.91.1.FC5.  Downgrading to 
tar-1.15.90-2.FC5 fixes the problem.  The more recent tar whines about 
rpmbuild execing it with the *.spec argument, and the message confuses 
rpmbuild.  See the attached summarized strace output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.4.2.15.2 (meta-buglet: bugzilla does not list rpm-build in the 
Component menu)

How reproducible:
rpmbuild -ta <known-working-tarball>

Actual results:
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
...etc,etc

Expected results:
.rpm built as usual.

Looks like a duplicate of bug #206841.

Comment 3 Paul Nasrat 2006-09-20 07:27:07 UTC
Workaround for now is TAR_OPTIONS=--wildcards discussion is occuring on
rpm-devel list about the correct way to fix.
