John, Here's my output from "rpmbuild -tb --clean rkhunter-1.3.4.tar.gz": [r...@danvers ~]# rpmbuild -tb --clean rkhunter-1.3.4.tar.gz error: Name field must be present in package: (main package) error: Version field must be present in package: (main package) error: Release field must be present in package: (main package) error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package) error: Group field must be present in package: (main package) error: License field must be present in package: (main package) This didn't happen with previous releases; rpm always built successfully with above command.
