is there any chance rpmbuild exits before reading %files file

Is it possible that you delete the file in the %build or %install? 
Can you post the %files section?
BTW, when I moved to rpmbuild 4.8.0 many of the issues I had with
rpmbuild solved.

Subject: is there any chance rpmbuild exits before reading %files file

Hello,

I am using rpmbuild command version 4.4.2.3 on Linux, with the following
syntax

rpmbuild -bb --define <defines> --target ppc-linux --buildroot <full
path to a temp directory <spec file>


The rpmbuild command fails with this message

Could not open %files file <file in the %files section>: No such file or
directory


I did carefully examine the situation and as far as I can tell, the file
in question, is present before rpmbuild starts executing.  After
rpmbuild exits, that file is immediately deleted.


Could it possibly happen, that somehow rpmbuild is executing "in the
background", as if, returning early, and then still reading the file in
%files.


Is there any chance of this happening?

Thank you,

Mark
