I put the following line in my spec file and the debug packages were not
created.
%define debug_package %{nil}
In addition, my *.so files did not get 'corrupted'. So, my problem is
solved! Thanks for the assistance.

-debuginfo packages are being created. I don't need or use them. Is there
a way to turn off the creation of -debuginfo packages?
I'm off to try the readelf command as you suggested.

Hello -
I'm trying to build an RPM on a RedHat 9 system.
I have a bunch of files in a tar file (mylib.tgz) including multiple
*.so files. Some, but not all, of the *.so files get corrupted during
the %install section. When I do an 'll', the size of the file has
decreased.
Any idea what causes this or how I can fix it? I pasted a portion of my
spec file below.
Erik
IMPORTANT PARTS OF MY SPEC FILE:
define __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress
%prep
%setup
%build
%install
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/lib
cp -pr %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/mylib.tgz $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/
usr/local/lib
cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/lib
tar -xvzf mylib.tgz
rm mylib.tgz
Are you trying to produce -debuginfo packages? If so, debugedit will
effectively strip ELF
libraries.
Verify what is happening by running readelf -a on some *.so file before
and after,
and then diff the output. The term "corruption" is perhaps way too
loosely applied here ;-)
There's no other mechanism I can think of, very few rpm scripts change
the contents of
files within $RPM_BUILD_ROOT.
