Description Karl E. Kelley 2002-05-30 15:08:24 EDT

Description of Problem:
a parse error will result when a nested %if is coded in the false part of the
outer %if.  This does depend on how the actual variables are set.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.4

How Reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp test.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
2. rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECES/test.spec
3. 

Actual Results:
error: parse error in expression
error: /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/pam-pvmodules.test.spec:11: parseExpressionBoolean returns -1



Expected Results:
rpm should at least go through the rest of the spec file.  This particular
spec file is a trimmed version to illustrate the problem, and many things 
are missing from it.  

Additional Information: The spec file is provided as an attachment, it is not
completely functional as supplied.  the two build variables can be changed to
0 and one of the other nested if groups will give the error message

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
