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

[Greg_Swift at aotx.uscourts.gov]

I may be wrong, but I think someone asked about this recently.  I think the
path we took them down was that they might have had a bad character
(perhaps non-visible) in one of the fields used by rpm to generate the
filename, such as name, version, release.

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

Hi All,

I'm trying to generate an rpm for a product I work on. I am receiving the
following error:

Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib
(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

error: Could not generate output filename for package xxx: unknown tag

My spec file has the line Name: xxx and this appears to be the value that
the error relates to. Does anyone have any ideas why I might be receiving
this error? Is the unknown tag error related to the "Requires" error? Could
it be related to the permissions on the directory where I am trying to
create the RPM?

Thanks,
John
