Interesting. I think that's the answer. I have directories in the file list. So I need to pull them out. If I have a big tree (that the entire installation is contained within), with a 900 or so files, what is the easiest way to accomplish a comprehensive and proper file list? Thanks again for all the help.

If you did 'find *' then your filelist contains both files and directories. But if you specify directory in the %files than rpmbuild by itself added all files under this dir. And they are found by find too. Her you go - files found twice. In order to avoid it you have to specify directories with %dir attribute. Or don't list files under any directory. i.e instead of 'find *' you can use 'ls -1' Valery > > No file is listed twice in that listing, and the warning > messages come for a single file in groups of 2-5. > > There is no makefile and no installation script for this, > just a untar and a bunch of file moves. > > Jeff. > > > > ________________________________ > > From: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > To: rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Sun Aug 31 21:37:02 2008 > Subject: Re: File listed twice > > > Are you listing files twice?
