Description of problem: I don't know the impact of this issue, however when I compile xscreensaver (I maintain xscreensaver), check-buildroot complains about: --------------------------------------------------------- extracting debug info from /home/tasaka1/rpmbuild/INSTROOT/xscreensaver-5.03-14.fc8-root-tasaka1/usr/libexec/xscreensaver/cubenetic extracting debug info from /home/tasaka1/rpmbuild/INSTROOT/xscreensaver-5.03-14.fc8-root-tasaka1/usr/libexec/xscreensaver/sonar 23578 blocks + /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot xargs: grep: Argument list too long + /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress + /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip --------------------------------------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-5.03-14.fc8 (srpm) rpm-build-4.4.2.2-4.fc8 findutils-4.2.31-2.fc8 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild --rebuild xscreensaver-5.03-14.fc8.src.rpm Actual results: See above Additional info: I think something changed outside of rpm...
xargs, not rpm, is giving grep too much to process at once. Reassigning to findutils.
