Net Llama offered this little gem:
% I've suddenly run into a very odd problem trying to rebuild SRPMs. In
% the past I was always able to download foo.src.rpm and run the following
% as root without any problems:
% rpm --rebuild foo.src.rpm
[slash/burn]
% File /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ppp-%{Version}.tar.gz: No such file or
% directory
%
% That last line is the problem. It dies at that point. I tried a
% different SRPM and it died with a similar error. The directory
% structure /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ exists. Any ideas?
It certainly is. You're not using Caldera's version of RPM, but
someone else's, arguably Red Hat's. Somewhere under /usr/lib/rpm
you'll find a file named *macros* - look at it's defintion of
"%(Version}" and I think you'll figure out how to fix the problem.
