Larry,
no idea, what these white space changes are about, but found them in your
spec as well, so I guess, some run-away spec-cleaner is in effect.. :-(
This is the correct fix now, and the reason for not detecting it befor is
burried in the Virtualization project config:
%if "%_repository" == "openSUSE_Factory"
# rpmlint results (in the rare case they have any meaning) are only relevant for Factory
%else
Substitute: clamav bash
Substitute: clamav-database bash
Substitute: post-build-checks bash
Substitute: post-build-checks-malwarescan bash
Substitute: rpmlint-Factory bash
Substitute: rpmlint-Factory-strict bash
Substitute: rpmlint-backports bash
Substitute: rpmlint-backports-data bash
Substitute: rpmlint-mini bash
%endif
Of course, there's no openSUSE_Factory target!
Best,
Pete
- Remove vbox-fix-usb-rules.sh from qt package to avoid file conflict
