Description Tim Waugh 2001-11-15 18:50:00 UTC 
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.

Agreed __awful__ and I add __dreadful__ !

Patch applied in rpm-4.1 (thank you Jonathan), the rest of
this mess is going to fileutils. Not my problem mon ...
Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-11-27 15:13:58 UTC 
Default setting changed in 4.1.2-2
