Problems Building RPMs for Bacula 5.0.3

So, after starting to build the RPMs from source for Bacula 5.0.3, I discovered several errors.


1. File /home/user1/rpm/SOURCES/bacula-5.0.2.tar.gz: No such file or directory

 Easily fixed, but I ran into additional errors:

2. error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/lib/bacula/btraceback.mdb

 Also easily fixed... Alas! More problems:

3. RPM build errors:

    Bad exit status from /home/user/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.26291 (%doc)

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbaccfg-5.0.3.so

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbaccfg.la

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbaccfg.so

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbacfind-5.0.3.so

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbacfind.la

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbacfind.so

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbacpy-5.0.3.so

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbacpy.la

    File listed twice: /usr/lib/libbacpy.so

Around line 1422 or so in the bacula.spec file, you'll see:

%files libs

%defattr(-,root,root)

%{_libdir}/libbac*

%{_libdir}/libbaccfg*

%{_libdir}/libbacfind*

%{_libdir}/libbacpy*

It appears that we don't need all those wildcards... the first wildcard encompasses the remainder - so I removed every line except for the line ending in /libbac*.

4. One final error: the spec file needs for there to be a Release_Notes-5.0.3-1.tar.gz with the file Release_Notes-5.0.3-1.txt in the SOURCES directory. After adding that, the Bacula RPMs built correctly.

Here's the diff of the bacula.spec file:
