I am getting a similar weird error when trying to rebuild mandriva's kernel; Nothing provides \ it builds fine on mandriva I have attached the spec file. My guess is that there is somewhere an invisible character (like a space or tab) which breaks reading the spec file on the build service but not on mandriva my project can be found here, attached was the original spec file (I have since tried about a 100 variations trying to get it to build) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kernel&project=home%3Aaapgorilla On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 1:15 PM, aapgorilla wrote:

Well I decided to include the mandriva %mklibname macro directly into the specfile but this errors too, though I do not know how. Interestingly 2009.1 and 2010.0 give a slightly different error for x86_64 too which is odd:

the macro is:

%mklibname(ds)  %{_lib}%{1}%{?2:%{2}}%{?3:_%{3}}%{-s:-static}%{-d:-devel}

The errors for 2009.1 and 2010.0 respectively are (note lib64 in 2010 and lib in 2009.1):
