This is strange. Maybe you are not referring to file you think you are.
Perhaps you should try to add %prep section and run within:
echo %{name}.files
ls %{name}.files
Just to be sure

The file that is missing, is the ....files file, not a specific file in
the list.
The ...files file is present before rpmbuild starts, I checked that.
Immediately after rpmbuild exits, the file is deleted.
What looks like is happening, somehow rpmbuild exits too early, while
the file ...files is still being read
Is it possible?

So let me get it right: You get an error on the file %{name}.files, or a
specific file within the list?
Can you try to add %prep section and just do ls to the missing file, for
debugging purpose?

Hello, thank you for your reply!
There is no %build or %install section. The only section is
%files -f %{name}.files

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.

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?
Thank you,
Mark
