Is it possible that you delete the file in the %build or %install? Can you post the %files section? BTW, when I moved to rpmbuild 4.8.0 many of the issues I had with rpmbuild solved. -----Original Message----- From: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mark Galeck (CW) Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 12:27 AM To: rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: is there any chance rpmbuild exits before reading %files file Hello, I am using rpmbuild command version 4.4.2.3 on Linux, with the following syntax rpmbuild -bb --define <defines> --target ppc-linux --buildroot <full path to a temp directory <spec file> The rpmbuild command fails with this message Could not open %files file <file in the %files section>: No such file or directory I did carefully examine the situation and as far as I can tell, the file in question, is present before rpmbuild starts executing. After rpmbuild exits, that file is immediately deleted. Could it possibly happen, that somehow rpmbuild is executing "in the background", as if, returning early, and then still reading the file in %files. Is there any chance of this happening?
