Re: rh-rpm] File owner when build rpm

[Bart Whiteley <bwhiteley novell com>]

Actually Theewara's problem is at install time, not
build time.  Tar isn't used at install time.  The answer
is simply to make sure the %defattr directive is the first
line in the %files section.  The spec:

%files
%doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING INSTALL NEWS README
%defattr(-,root,root)

Should instead read

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
%doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING INSTALL NEWS README
