Re: [Ltib] mconf not found

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Lucas,

Thanks for the heads-up.  As things get updates (in the distro world) we 
do run into things like this.  Once HH is out and if I have time I'll 
look for a "proper" fix.  We probably don't need to force it, but 
override a macro.  If in the mean time someone else can look into fix 
that, it would help me out.  For example, if you look at rpm-fs right 
now you'll see:

%Install
export NO_BRP_STALE_LINK_ERROR=yes

This was to avoid a similar type of issue on a previous update to the 
distro's rpm IIRC.  Normally there are overrides that can be used.

Regards, Stuart
