Summary: cpanspec error: Dest dir longer than base dir is not supported https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757089 Summary: cpanspec error: Dest dir longer than base dir is not supported Product: Fedora Version: 16 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: cpanspec AssignedTo: steve@xxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: kas@xxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: steve@xxxxxxxxx, fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: --- Description of problem: I am trying to build some CPAN modules as RPMs (namely Env::C and IO::Socket::Multicast), but the build fails with the following error: [...] extracting debug info from /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/perl-Env-C-0.08-1.fc16.x86_64/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Env/C/C.so Dest dir longer than base dir is not supported error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LI9AHv (%install) I am not sure why the length of both paths should matter at all, but the cause of the problem is that cpanspec sets up too long buildroot. Taking the generated spec file, shortening the buildroot path, and rebuilding the package using the modified spec file works for me Before: BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) After: BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cpanspec-1.78-9.fc16.noarch How reproducible: 100 % Steps to Reproduce: 1. cpanspec --build Env::C Actual results: build fails with the above error message Expected results: perl-Env-C binary and source RPMs should be built -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
