#1984 dist/find-requires not executable
When trying to build RPMs for Net-SNMP 5.4.2 on CentOS 4.x with the spec file in dist/, I got the following error:
Finding Provides: /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides
error: Couldn't exec /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/net-snmp-5.4.2/dist/find-requires: Permission denied
getOutputFrom(): Broken pipe
Build command is:
rpmbuild -ba net-snmp.spec
This is due to the fact that dist/find-requires is not executable.
On a related note, you probably also want to make dist/extractnews executable as well.
find-requires itself, even if executable, gives errors:
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/net-snmp-5.4.2/dist/find-requires: line 5: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/net-snmp-5.4.2/dist/find-requires: line 6: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I'm unsure of the purpose, but the command of:
/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires | grep -v "perl(Tk)\|perl(Term::ReadKey)
Should probably be:
/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires | grep -v "perl(Tk)\|perl(Term::ReadKey)"
Thanks for the bug report!
We've fixed the problem in the 5.4.x code branch
and the main development tree, so it should be
fixed in future releases of the Net-SNMP package.
