to fully analyze yet.

How are you trying to rebuild these (on what sort of system,
etc)?  The few I've tried so far work fine with rpm --rebuild...

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 1999-05-16 20:31:59 UTC

I've rebuilt (misapplied means that %patchN had a wrong -p arg
that happened to work)
	cdp-0.33-12
	esound-0.2.12-4
	joe-2.8-18
	strace-3.1.17

I've changed the patches in (bad patch means contents not all relative
to same directory)
	cxhextris-1.0-15
	xmorph-1996.07.12-7

And I will make sure (as soon as I can get on an i386) that
svgalib doesn't remove binaries while building.

Dunno what the man-1.5g "bad patch" is -- looks fine to me,
although it is applied after running configure.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 1999-05-17 19:13:59 UTC

*** Bug 2881 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Running rpm -bs on .spec file which contains
BuildArchitectures: noarch (e.g. timetool.spec from
timetool-2.5-5.src.rpm) causes error "Segmentation fault
(core dumped)". rpm -bb works OK. RH 6.0, rpm-3.0-6.0.

Comment 4 Kolar, Petr 1999-05-24 11:59:59 UTC

The bug originaly number 2881 is neither RESOLVED nor FIXED.
I think if the bug #2881 was attached to the bug #2735, the
bug #2735 also is not fixed yet.
