I recently received a bug report that one of my packages (in devel)
fails when built in mock with the following error:
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/share/info/dir
I was able to duplicate this in a mock build, but here's what I don't
understand: after the build failure, I don't see a "dir" file in
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/info . Furthermore, if I try the same build on
a (mostly) up to date devel system, the build completes without any
problems. Why? In looking at other packages that I maintain, one that
was formerly in core has the line
rm -f ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_infodir}/dir
in the %install section. That seems like what I need to fix this
problem, but it also seems like an ugly hack to deal with a problem that
a lot of packages are likely to have and IMHO maybe should be handled by
the rpm tools automatically. Is there a better way to do this?
