[opensuse-buildservice] strange results from 'abuild' on SUSE 10.0 only?
Hi all I have a C library package that builds perfectly well on FC5 through 7, openSUSE 10.2 and Factory, and Mandriva 2006. The package fails strangely on SUSE 10.0, however, with a message from 'abuild', as follows, below. Despite what the message says, the spec file *does* have a %description, and this error is not thrown on any other distro. I have seen problems like this with the Build Service in other cases. It seems like the parsing of the spec file that abuild does might have some bugs in certain cases. In the past I was able to (trivially) rearrange my spec file and make it work, however I am less willing to do that now that my package builds correctly in all these other distros. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I don't think %defined exists in older suse versions. Just use %if 0%{?fedora_version} %if 0%{?mandriva_version} %if 0%{?suse_version} instead.

This means that rpm couldn't parse a "%if" statement.
error: Package has no %description: sundials
That's just a red herring...
