Description Enrico Scholz 2003-05-14 18:51:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

rpmbuild fails to parse spec-files like

---
%define var	0

Summary:	none
Name:		foo
Version:	0.1
Release:	1
License:	none
Group:		none

%description

%if 0
%if %{var}

%endif
%endif
---

| $ rpmbuild -bb foo.spec  
| error: parse error in expression
| error: /tmp/foo.spec:13: parseExpressionBoolean returns -1


When the condition in the first %if evaluates to true, things are fine.


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