Anyhow, my source rpms for Icarus Verilog cause lots of warnings when I use "rpm --rebuild iverilog-0.7.20030815-0.src.rpm" to rebuild the package. Warnings like:
That package seems not to use BUILD_ROOT. Without BUILD_ROOT set, a normal user might not be able to build the package. So, I would call it a bug in the source RPM.
I call /usr/sbin/Check... + /usr/sbin/Check rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/info/dir.bak.gz': Permission denied gzip: /usr/share/info/dir.bak.gz: Permission denied -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 503 2003-07-17 07:06 /usr/share/info/dir.bak.gz rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/man/man1/gimp-1.2.1.gz': Permission denied gzip: /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-1.2.1.gz: Permission denied -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5318 2003-07-09 06:53 /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-1.2.1.gz
In fact, it appears that the subcommands are not using the BUILD_ROOT that is there to allow for non-root rebuilds of packages. It may be that an old version of rpm is being used.
No, this is not a generic RPM problem.
