Yes. macros are expanded wherever they are found, and the redhat-rpm-config package is now overloading %prep as a (multiline) macro. Either add an escaping '%' before %prep in a comment, or erase the redhat-rpm-config package. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: If a hapless spec file author has placed something like %prep within a comment area of the spec file rpmbuild sees this as a second macro and exits with an error. Previous versions of rpm did not have this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.69 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take a working spec file and put %prep within a comment before %prep 2. Try to rebuild the package. 3. Actual Results: You get an error that there is a second %prep at the line where the real %prep target is given. Expected Results: rpmbuild should ignore the commented section and not check within it for %prep or %install etc. Additional info:
