Sorry for the late reply. Your mail got lost somewhere in the moderation
queue.
As rpm 4.2 is pretty old (2003) I assume you are using AIX or Hpux or
any of the other Unixes (who are probably shipping their own version of
tar). So I doubt anyone is interested fixing this issue. It is probably
easier to just use rpm -b after extracting the spec file from the
tarball and copying it to the SPECS directory on your own.
