Description of problem: When trying to rebuild coreutils-5 on RedHat 7.3, it aborts because the available texinfo(-4.3) can't handle the texinfo source from coreutils. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils >= 5.0.0 How reproducible: always (haven't rechecked newest RedHat Rawhide sources though) Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild --rebuild coreutils-5.x.y-z.src.rpm 2. 3. Actual results: make error on texinfo: unexpected syntax Expected results: build cleanly Additional info: I don't have the log handy right now. ;-) Just try it. Upgrading to texinfo- 4.3 helps. So I assume BuildRequires: ... texinfo ... should be updated to something like BuildRequires: ... texinfo >= 4.3 ... I don't know whether texinfo-4.2 does the trick, I only tried 4.3.
Sorry, the available texinfo on RedHat 7.3 is of course version 4.1. Typo, sorry
Fixed in CVS; will appear in next build. Thanks for the report.
