Description daniel.deimert 2001-11-10 07:37:39 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:

Description of problem:
rpm -bb package.spec fails with "package.spec: No such file or directory" 
when rpm-build not installed.

This is a misleading and incorrect error message.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.0.3-1.03


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a basic 7.2 server system with rpm but without rpm-build
2. Install a .src.rpm
3. Attempt to build the package by issuing rpm -
ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/package.spec
	

Actual Results:  rpm fails with the 
message "/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/package.spec: No such file or directory".



Expected Results:  rpm should have said "rpm: Build option not installed. 
Please install the rpm-build package."

Invoke rpmbuild, not rpm. Yes you will need to install the
rpm-build package first.
