Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the ggv SRPM 2. rpmbuild -ba ggv.spec 3. watch the output from the build Actual Results: see description Expected Results: No modifications should be made to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log Additional info: $ rpm -q ggv ggv-1.99.9-5
I am having the same problem on RH-7.2. I suspect the problem is a missing file, as when I do: rpm -bl ggv.spec I see: --------------------------------------------------- Processing files: ggv-1.0.2-5.1 error: Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ggv-1.0.2/ggv.lang: No such file or directory RPM build errors: Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ggv-1.0.2/ggv.lang: No such file or directory --------------------------------------------------- Best Regards, --George
Fixed in Rawhide.
