Hi all.
The latest cooker RPM for the "file" utility seems to have a bug.
The bug is related to the following changelog entry:
* Fri Jan 19 2001 Geoffrey Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3.33-2mdk
- ask requested by Chmou move the magic files to its own directory.
The magic file movement is implemented through the following in the spec
file:
%configure
[...]
# As requested by chmou.
find . -type f -exec perl -pi -e
"s|/usr/share/magic|/usr/share/magic/magic|g" {} \;
At first glance it would seem to be okay, since it runs after configure has
been run. Unfortunately Geoffrey must have overlooked the fact that the
Makefile contains dependencies to re-run automake, rebuild the configure
script and rebuild the Makefile whenever the Makefile.(in|am) has changed...
I ran into the bug while rebuilding the RPM on my (extensively upgraded)
Mandrake 7.1 box. If the bug doesn't appear on Mandrake-current then you may
shoot me (but please explain why first).
Cheers..
