Hard to tell without the spec file. You are aware that the %setup macro
will try to unpack the source tarball, right?

Thanks for the reply. I am aware that the setup macro tries to unpack the source archive, and it appears to work.
Thanks for the reply. I am aware that the setup macro tries to unpack the source archive, and it appears to work.
Looking into what is causing the error, I found it happens for the URL: entry which I am trying to use a variable that is generated from the archive label.
An example spec entry follows.
%define url_label %(echo `tar -tzf ../SOURCES/%{name}_%{version}.tar.gz | head -1`)
followed by the URL entry that uses the variable.
URL: %{url_label}
It actually works but includes a harmless side effect of the tar error messages.
Is there a more appropriate solution?
Thanks,
