Hi,
It *looks like* a serious problem is present in rpm 4.2.3.
Simple example: file tree contains symlinks:
/usr/bin/abc -> consolehelper
/usr/bin/def -> consolehelper
(consolehelper itself of course does not exist in the buildroot).
When the %files section contains
%{_bindir}/*
an error is given, as it says no files exist! When it contains
%{_bindir}/abc
%{_bindir}/def
everything works fine. And when it contains
%{_bindir}/abc
the package builds *without* the error that %{_bindir}/def is unpackaged!
This would also means that packages are built in an incomplete way when
using wildcards!
I'm almost sure I built this package without any problem with earlier
versions of rpm (I did not downgrade yet, I have to find the right
versions). Is something wrong with the way rpm calls stat()/lstat()?
Cheers,
