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

[John Wieland]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply. I've attached the specs file but have had to scrub it
of any proprietary details. Hopefully this is of some assistance. If there
is more detail needed in the file to diagnose the problem let me know.

I also ran it through dos2unix and the same error occurred.

Thanks,
John
