Created attachment 44997 [details] patch to pass -f to gzip
What version of rpm? I believe this problem is already fixed in rpm-4.0.3.
it is rpm-build-4.0.3-1.03.
Looking at brp-compress again, it does call gzip with -f. However, gzip still asks whether it should overwrite the files. Any idea why this is happening? Is this a gzip bug?
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. For RPM issues, please try a current release such as Fedora Core 4; if bugs persist, please open a new issue.
