rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/fake.spec
gives the error message:
"error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)".
Can this be any Group Field, or are there specific ones to use?
Any group will work. If you read the followups to the mail Ken quoted, you'll see that that was a mistake on my part in the spec I posted. Just add Group: fake at the top of the spec file and run again. Note that if you only use apt, there is an apt-specific fake-provides statement that will do the same thing quicker. The fake rpm method will work with all package managers
