The problem seems to be that the .mo files are not installed in the build root, but in the live filesystem. The rpm builder expects them in the build root.

[Tiger!P]

To solve the problem, you can replace the following line:

%makeinstall prefix=%{root_prefix}

with this line:

%makeinstall prefix=%{root_prefix} localedir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{locale_prefix}

Then the files should be installed in the build root where the spec file tries to find them.

[Victor Julien]

That seems to work! Thanks!

Closing as it is fixed by changeset:133.

[Victor Julien]

It seems that OpenSuse 10.3 rpm and Fedora 7 rpm are not compatible. The patches changeset:159 and changeset:163 basically undo the fix from this ticket... we need to investigate this...

[Victor Julien]

One thing to consider is that Fedora 7 is (almost) EOL. So if Fedora 8 and 9 do work with our spec file we can just close this ticket.

[Victor Julien]

I've chosen to 'fix' it by just adding a separate spec file for Fedora that contains Tiger!P's fix. Closed by changeset:165.
