#7 empty %files section

[Nerijus Baliūnas]

If I rebuild http://apt.flussonic.com/rpm/flussonic-19.10-1.x86_64.rpm, I get empty rpm with no files. If I use rpmrebuild -e flussonic and paste output of rpm -ql flussonic after %files, I get rpm with files inside.

I can not read this rpm package on my computer :
$ rpm -qpi flussonic-19.10-1.x86_64.rpm
error: flussonic-19.10-1.x86_64.rpm: tag[31]: BAD, tag 1033 type 4 offset 29320 count 1118 len 1118
error: flussonic-19.10-1.x86_64.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest)

maybe because the rpm file seems quite old, using old rpm3 format :
$ file flussonic-19.10-1.x86_64.rpm
flussonic-19.10-1.x86_64.rpm: RPM v3.0 bin i386/x86_64 flussonic

what is your rpm version ? (rpm -q rpm)

[Nerijus Baliūnas]

Yes, exactly because of this problem (package is created with an old rpm version) I want to rebuild it with rpmrebuild in order to install it on CentOS 8.

[Nerijus Baliūnas]

BTW, CentOS 7 can read that package.

I have tested the package on Centos 7.7 and Centos 6.10

• on Centos 7.7 , the rpm2cpio command (used to extract data) exits with a return code of 1 (not good)
• on Centos 6.10, the rpm2cpio exits with a return value of 0 (no error)

and the current code show a shell syntax error on line 204 of rpmrebuild_files.sh
I will have a new release to

• fix the rpmrebuild_files.sh error
• have better diagnostic on error

[eric gerbier]

here is a beta version which fixes the %file problem

[Nerijus Baliūnas]

It works OK, thank you!

[Nerijus Baliūnas]

When will the new version be released?

[eric gerbier]

I was working on code debuging tools (improve debug mode). This is not yet ready for release

[Nerijus Baliūnas]

The bug is fixed in the latest release, thank you!

[eric gerbier]

fixed in release 2.15
