Description of Problem: brp-compress doesn't work with fileutils-4.1.1-1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): For example, rpm-4.0.3-1.03 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fileutils-4.1.1-1. 2. mkdir -p /tmp/demo/usr/share/man/man1 3. ln -s target.1 /tmp/demo/usr/share/man/man1/link.1 4. RPM_BUILD_ROOT=/tmp/demo LANG=en_US /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress 5. ls -l /tmp/demo Actual Results: link.1.gz points to .gz. Expected Results: link.1.gz points to target.1.gz. Additional Information: This is because the default time style for ls now appears to be 'iso', which has an unpredictable number of fields. Unfortunately, --time-style isn't accepted by fileutils-4.1, so I don't know what a good fix is. Bero, I've copied you since you own the fileutils RPM. This seems to be an _awful_ default.

Default setting changed in 4.1.2-2
