Older versions of rpm allowed mixing relative %doc and direct installs into %_pkgdocdir.
rpm - as upstream calls it - "fixed it" (IMHO, they broke rpm - of course upstreams disagrees with me).
As a consequence of this, rpm now often errors out, when mixing both styles. The only reliable way, now seems to be to either manually install everything to %_pkgdocdir directly or only use relative %doc.
rpm or rpmbuild? I assume the latter, and I've never had a problem with any of my packages. Is it known what exactly triggers the issue?
ATM, I am recommending against using relative %doc and recommend to directly install docs into %_pkgdocdir.
Easy enough on the %install side but silly in the %files section, how I'll have to specifically list each file or glob the whole directory and then turn around and exclude %{_pkgdocdir}/html so save that for the -doc package.
The other option being to move the documentation back to %buildroot and use relative paths...
Overall it seems like a step backwards to me...
Thanks,
Richard
