Description of problem: RPM chokes if I have a changelog entry in a spec file that contains a "%install" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.66 Example: * Sat Feb 17 2001 Name <email> - update to new revision in CVS - use Makefile instead of crafting our own %install - add %post to run migrate-rcconf
Yup, macros are expanded everywhere, and redhat-rpm-config has overloaded the %install section marker with a macro. Escape as '%%install' to prevent expansion.
