Description of problem: If I define build dir for rpmbuild, I do not get source code in -debuginfo package. It seems that problematic is /usr/lib/rpm/debugedit in /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh which create zero sized $SOURCEFILE Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-build-4.4.2.3-18.el5 How reproducible: deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir /tmp/bb 2. rpmbuild --define "_builddir /tmp/bb" -ba bash.spec Actual results: rpm -qpl /home/msuchy/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/bash-debuginfo-3.2-24.i386.rpm |grep src <no lines> Expected results: /usr/src/debug lines on output Additional info: I first find this problem, when my build dir was something like /tmp/foo/bar//BUILD I thought that /usr/lib/rpm/debugedit has problem with double slash, but when I tried to create minimalistic reproducer I find that it has problem with any build dir other then default.

In newer versions it'll error out with something like: Dest dir longer than base dir is not supported error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Fq0n0Y (%install) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Fq0n0Y (%install) The same "dest dir longer..." error is produced by RHEL-5 there its allowed to fail to avoid breaking previously working builds due to the new build-id stuff introduced in the rebase to rpm 4.4.2.3.
