From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.6-3.1 i686) Description of problem: During build:make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/balsa-1.1.7' + rm -f /usr/share/sounds/balsa/newmail.wav /usr/share/sounds/balsa/startup.wav rm: cannot unlink `/usr/share/sounds/balsa/newmail.wav': Permission denied rm: cannot unlink `/usr/share/sounds/balsa/startup.wav': Permission denied error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.9433 (%install) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Recompile from source as non-root. 2. 3. Actual Results: Errors as described above. Additional info: The spec file specifies the following for install: %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %makeinstall rm -f /usr/share/sounds/balsa/* %find_lang %{name} Is it really advisable to remove already installed files? It definitely does not work for non-root. Maybe this should this be done in the %post target, which is executed by root? balsa-1.1.7-4 rpm-4.0.3-0.88
A dumb typo, fixed in 1.1.7-5.
