From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-ac3 i686; Nav) RPM doesn't handle SPEC-files in a DOS textfile format, although this could be the expected behaviour, the error it returns is very obscure and mind-boggling at first sight. In a shell you get the following error (because of the non-ascii output): + '[' 0 = 0 ']' + /bin/chgrp -Rhf root . + /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,g-w,o-w . + : command not found926: error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34926 (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.34926 (%prep) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply convert your SPEC file to the DOS textfile format 2. (in vi: set ff=dos) 3. Expected Results: RPM should tell me it is in DOS textfile format, or it should silently accept it and process it.
