To follow up on the solution I found, the default owner & group for all files in my rpm was being set to a specific user. / was in the (%files) files.base file. Also I used "%debug_package %{nil}" to skip touching the /usr folder. I was simply misconfigured. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
