i *know* this has come up before, and i've already skimmed what google found for me. i have a cross-compile toolchain that i'm trying to use to cross compile a src rpm. this means that i have a pre-built "rpmbuild" executable that i don't have the source for at the moment, so i'm kind of limited in that respect. as part of the rebuild process, the first step listed in the docs is to just do a "prep" step, which sadly fails immediately on trying to unload the bzipped tarball. i've seen, via google, that the "Error: Bad owner/group" message refers to the owner/group of the files within the tarball. but i've tried various combinations -- i've unloaded the tarball, changed the owner and group of the contents, and zipped it up again. changed all those attributes to root/root. no difference. i've verified that the owner/group correspond to a valid account on this machine, tried the build both as a regular user and as root, and so on, with no success. i'm naturally limited to the cross-compile version of the rpmbuild command, but is there anything else i can try at this point? what did this error message used to represent? thanks for any pointers. rday _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
