-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I experienced this problem several times in the past and always assumed, that my local clock is not perfectly in sync as usually, a rebuild trigger solves it. However, since it just happened again, I checked my local clock (perfectly in sync to the second due to NTP) and therefore investigated the logs more closely: Result: At least some build hosts on OBS apparently have the wrong timezone. Here are some log snippets: The build was started around 14:59 *MESZ*, (not UTC!), but - according to the build log - it started at 14:59 *UTC* which is clearly in the past. Note: The uploaded tarball is auto-generated on my Jenkins-CI and auto-committed to OBS following a successful local build. Therefore, the timestamps in the tarball are quite current. === Start of build on build02 Using BUILD_ROOT=/var/cache/obs/worker/root_6/.mount Using BUILD_ARCH=i586:i486:i386 Doing xen build in /var/cache/obs/worker/root_6/root build02 started "build wsgate.spec" at Mon Jun 11 14:59:50 UTC 2012. Building wsgate for project 'home:felfert' repository 'SLE_11_SP1' arch 'i586' srcmd5 '0aeba73255941d3fef6bcfde89bd42f9' processing specfile /var/cache/obs/worker/root_6/.build-srcdir/wsgate.spec ...

Check your system clock error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.29510 (%build) So: Is it possible to fix the TZ of the build hosts or otherwise improve accuracy by using NTP?
