Hi all,

I am having some difficulty generating an RPM file for a project that I am
working on. I get the following error:

RPM build errors:
    Could not generate output filename for package xxx: unknown tag

when I run rpmbuild. The "tag" it seems to be referring to is the "Name:
xxx" tag in my specs file. What does this error mean? Is this a file
permissions problem? What additional information do you need to work this
out?

Thanks,
John
