Created attachment 510048 [details] test spec file Description of problem: We are trying to build an RPM which mostly consists of a big file (approx. 1GB in size: 1122139308 bytes to be precise) and a single suplementary. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed Packages rpm.x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 installed rpm-build.x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 installed rpm-devel.x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 installed rpm-libs.x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 installed rpm-python.x86_64 4.4.2.3-9.el5 installed How reproducible: See attached SPEC file. Additional info: This might be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506194 (which is still open after approx. 2 years?). However, it is non-obvious why this spec file causes duplicate file definitions. Yes, we are aware that this spec file isn't really clean, but it should work anyhow.

The src.rpm is over 2GB but all the built noarch RPMs are all well under 2GB. Downgrading my rpm to rpm-4.4.2.3-32 and all is well again.
