Hi,

I'm trying to build some RPMs for FC4 using cpan2rpm, and I'm running into a
problem. For example,

-----------------------------------
[root at foobar rpms-September2005]# cpan2rpm --author="Dave Rolsky" --version=
2.11 Log-Dispatch-2.11.tar.gz

-- cpan2rpm - Ver: 2.028 --
Signatures not set up
Upgrade check
Fetch: HTTP

-- module: Log-Dispatch-2.11.tar.gz --
Metadata retrieval
Tarball extraction: [/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Log-Dispatch-2.11.tar.gz]
Generating spec file
SPEC: /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/Log-Dispatch.spec
Generating package
RPM test unpacking failed! [/bin/rpm -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/Log-
Dispatch.spec]
-bp: unknown option
-- Done --
-----------------------------------

My rpm version is 4.4.1, which I believe is fairly current. Can anyone
explain why 'bp' isn't recognized by rpm? Do I need to use the /etc/popt
magic mentioned in the rpm man page? Thanks ..

Alex
