Hello, Thanks Dominique and Adrian for the info, your correct about the errors. So far I've added to the specfile the following:- BuildRequires: pwdutils , apache2-devel %define apache apache2 %define apache_libexecdir %(%{apxs} -q LIBEXECDIR) %define apache_sysconfdir %(%{apxs} -q SYSCONFDIR) %define apache_includedir %(%{apxs} -q INCLUDEDIR) %define apache_serverroot %(%{apxs} -q PREFIX) %define apache_localstatedir %(%{apxs} -q LOCALSTATEDIR) %define apache_mmn %(MMN=$(%{apxs} -q LIBEXECDIR)_MMN; test -x $MMN && $MMN) %pre id cricket >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then /usr/sbin/useradd -r -d %{_libdir}/%{name} -c "cricket id" cricket /usr/sbin/groupadd apache fi %postun if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then /usr/sbin/userdel cricket /usr/sbin/groupdel apache fi I resubmitted to build, the log now shows:- (using //.build.log) ... running 03-check-binary-kernel-log ... running 04-check-filelist ... checking filelist cricket: "/etc/httpd/conf.d/cricket.conf" is not allowed anymore in SuSE Linux. cricket: "/var/cricket" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/cache" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/config" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/data" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/etc" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/etc/cricket-conf.pl" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/etc/subtree-sets" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket: "/var/cricket/log" is not allowed anymore in FHS 2.2. cricket-1.0.5-34.1.noarch.rpm: directories not owned by a package: - /etc/httpd - /etc/httpd/conf.d System halted As was said the sysconfdir variables have to be properly reworked. I see the line '%define apache_sysconfdir %(%{apxs} -q SYSCONFDIR) ' Question: What should it look like, and what other lines do I need in the spec file ?
