Also occurs in edgy. When trying to build a RPM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpmbuild -v -ta (package).tar.gz error: Name field must be present in package: (main package) error: Version field must be present in package: (main package) error: Release field must be present in package: (main package) error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package) error: Group field must be present in package: (main package) error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
This is due to rpmbuild using the following method to find the .spec file in the tarball: gunzip < $tarball | tar xOvf - '*.spec' however, the installed version of tar dies with this error: tar: Pattern matching characters used in file names. Please, tar: use --wildcards to enable pattern matching, or --no-wildcards to tar: suppress this warning. tar: *.spec: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors - it just needs the --wildcards option to be able to extract the .spec -- rpm -t* <compressed file> don't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/69173 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
