While using rpmrebuild to inspect or rebuild RPM packages, I am encountering the following issue:
(GenRpmQf) remove tag line ENHANCESFLAGS (GenRpmQf) remove tag line ENHANCESNAME (GenRpmQf) remove tag line ENHANCESVERSION (GenRpmQf) remove tag line SUGGESTSFLAGS (GenRpmQf) remove tag line SUGGESTSNAME (GenRpmQf) remove tag line SUGGESTSVERSION gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now /usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh: ERROR: (RpmUnpack) rpm2archive /usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh: ERROR: (CreateBuildRoot) RpmUnpack /usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh: ERROR: CreateBuildRoot
The issue occurs when using Rocky 9. To resolve it, I modified the rpmrebuild.sh script
vi /usr/lib/rpmrebuild/rpmrebuild.sh
Add – (stripe) after line rpm2archive (line 143). So, it looks like the following:
rpm2archive - <${RPMREBUILD_PAQUET} | tar -xz -C $BUILDROOT || Error "(RpmUnpack) rpm2archive" || return
After modifying that line, I was able to inspect or rebuild RPM packages again.
Good Luck 🙂
