I was able to build the spec you sent me without any problem. [me@boxen ~]$ rpmbuild -ba rpm.spec Processing files: Product-3.2.2-1.i386 Checking for unpackaged file (s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/xaeth/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Product-3.2.2-1.i386 Wrote: /home/me/rpmbuild/SRPMS/Product-3.2.2-1.src.rpm Wrote: /home/me/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/Product-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.NMGvmD + umask 022 + cd /home/xaeth/rpmbuild/BUILD + /bin/rm -rf /home/me/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Product-3.2.2-1.i386 + exit 0 I'd try just re-typing the first few lines of the file fresh and seeing if that helps, because whatever you cleaned out to send it to the list seems to have included your issue. -greg -----rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: ----- To: General discussion about the RPM package manager <rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: John Wieland <johnny.c.sparkles@xxxxxxxxx> Sent by: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 31.05.2010 21:37 Subject: Re: RPM build errors: Could not generate output filename for package xxx: unknown tag Hi Greg, Thanks for the reply. I've attached the specs file but have had to scrub it of any proprietary details. Hopefully this is of some assistance. If there is more detail needed in the file to diagnose the problem let me know. I also ran it through dos2unix and the same error occurred.

I get the following error: RPM build errors: Could not generate output filename for package xxx: unknown tag when I run rpmbuild. The "tag" it seems to be referring to is the "Name: xxx" tag in my specs file. What does this error mean? Is this a file permissions problem? What additional information do you need to work this out?
