I'm having some trouble with this. Here's a log of what happens: $ rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm <vi appears; I edit the text on the screen as advised> Do you want to continue ? (y/N) y warning: Explicit %attr() mode not applicaple to symlink: /home/jonrysh/.tmp/rpmrebuild.9491/work/root/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth warning: Explicit %attr() mode not applicaple to symlink: /home/jonrysh/.tmp/rpmrebuild.9491/work/root/usr/bin/google-earth result: /home/jonrysh/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm The rebuilt google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm is untouched. I could force installation using rpm, but then a large number of dependencies would have to be installed.
