Title: RPM build fails due to incorrect suffix for compressed files
Submitter: Mika Korhonen

Subsys: Build/Installation
Version: 1.8.2-0
System: x86-Linux-Mandrake 8.2
Severity: major
Problem:
If trying to build a RPM from source RPM graphviz-1.8.2-0.src.rpm:
rpm --rebuild graphviz-1.8.2-0.src.rpm
on Mandrake Linux 8.x distribution, the build fails because the default
man page compression format on Mandrake is bzip2 not gzip as assumed
in the RPM spec file.
[...]
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/dot.1.gz
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/dotty.1.gz
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/lefty.1.gz
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/neato.1.gz
[...]
Fix:
Replace the man page suffixes .gz in the spec file with sufficient
wildcards: e.g.
[...]
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/dot.1.*
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/dotty.1.*
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/lefty.1.*
%doc %attr(644,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/neato.1.*
