You should be able to reproduce this with $ file -m /usr/lib/rpm/magic /path/to/Guidebook.txt If not, I have no clue what's going on. I tried to build nethack-vultures-1.11.1-3 through mock with FC4 setup. This failed with another error. The following command failed inside BUILD/vultures-1.11.1/slashem/doc: tbl tmac.n Guidebook.mn | nroff -c -Tascii | col -bx > Guidebook.txt The problem here is that col returns 1, although the output looks usable to me. This might be related to a patch in util-linux (util-linux-2.12p-col-EILSEQ.patch, Bug 176441) which is only applied to FC4 and FC5. Workaround is quite easy. With the following change inside your nethack-vultures-1.10.1-clawguide.patch I was able to build the package: Current: +GUIDECMD = tbl tmac.n Guidebook.mn | nroff -c -Tascii | $(COLCMD) New: +GUIDECMD = tbl tmac.n Guidebook.mn | nroff -c -Tascii | $(COLCMD) | cat Now 'cat' is the last command and it returns 0.
