At some point the %defattr(-,root,root,-) became the default, probably since RPM 4.4. Try to remove it, and you'll probably see that it still works on your FC4. But for the reason you now discovered, I don't want to use this feature in my spec files yet (maybe in 10 years or so... ;-)). -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
