Description of problem: Following *.pc file causes rpmbuild to fail the package rebuild: --- snipp --- prefix=/usr includedir=/usr/include/bitlbee/ Name: bitlbee Description: IRC to IM gateway Requires: glib-2.0 Version: Libs: Cflags: -I${includedir} --- snapp --- Note, this only affects rpm.org, not rpm5.org when using the same pkgconfig package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.6.1-1 pkgconfig-0.23-6 How reproducible: Everytime, see above and below. Actual results: Sorry for the non-english error message, but mock didn't somehow honor my LANG=C :-( rpmbuild: rpmfc.c:407: rpmfcHelper: Zusicherung »EVR != ((void *)0)« nicht erfüllt. Child returncode was: -6 Expected results: Working, no failure :)
I would assume the cause is, that "Version:" tag is empty. And rpm5.org solves this problem by doing then only a "Provides: pkgconfig(bitlbee)" rather then failing... ;-)
Right, this has already been fixed for quite some time in rpm.org HEAD + 4.7.x branch, just not in 4.6.x.
Panu, why is this bug report still not fixed at Fedora 10? It still prevents me from pushing an update of bitlbee there.
