Re: [Ltib] Fedora 11 / Issues to build LTIB / rpm-fs build fails / %pfx macro

[Goluboff]

I just ran into this same issue on Fedora 12.

/home/usr/ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/rpm/rpm-fs.spec looks ok, but there is no
/tmp/rpm-user/SPECS/rpm-fs.spec

The error log is exactly like above, with the empty macro. Has anybody
resolved this issue?

Thanks!
Mariano
