The new m4 package build does not 'provide' an 'acceptible 'm4' for "rpm -ba specfile" rebuilds: --------------------------------------------------------- [root@new ERRORS]# tail autofs.errors + /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,g-w,o-w . + echo Patch #0: + patch -p1 -b --suffix .rh -s + exit 0 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + cd autofs-3.1.3 + autoconf Autoconf requires GNU m4 1.1 or later Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.88794 (%build) [root@new ERRORS]# rpm -q --queryformat "%{name}\t${provide}\n" m4 m4 [root@new ERRORS]# rpm -qi m4 Name : m4 Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 1.4 Vendor: Red Hat Software Release : 12 Build Date: Sun Mar 21 20:59:01 1999 Install date: Wed May 5 23:04:16 1999 Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com Group : Applications/Text Source RPM: m4-1.4-12.src.rpm Size : 122899 License: GPL Packager : Red Hat Software <http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla/> Summary : The GNU macro processor.
This problem has nothing to do with m4. And autofs builds perfectly on my Red Hat 6.0 sparc system. You will need to look at autoconf to find out what it is complaining about so that you can find out what is wrong on you system
