Hello,

Has anyone encountered such an error during package building with RPM:

===8<===
Finding  Provides: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides)...
line 98: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': -
Now we use BuildRoot

Failed to find Provides:
===>8===

Line in a diagnostic always refer to the last line in the spec file.
This emerged at some point after I have made some minor changes in my spec
(and probably something out of RPM's direct concern - can't remember
exactly), and since that all packages I've tried to build issued this
error. I updated RPM to 3.0.4-0.9mdk from Cooker, did 'rpm --rebuilddb',
'/sbin/ldconfig', ran rpm with an alternative database, performed ritual
dances, sacrificed to Gods - it all had no effect.
This doesn't stop packages from being created, but it ruins their
'provides'-lists.

Help!
