Distribution:      %(head -1 /etc/SuSE-release)

Comment 3 Jonathan Arsenault 2006-03-01 13:09:38 UTC

well that make the build faill with this 
head: cannot open `/etc/SuSE-release' for reading: No such file or directory

Comment 4 Michael Schröder 2006-03-01 13:16:32 UTC

/etc/SuSE-release is from the suse-release package, so you need to add

BuildRequires: suse-release

to your specfile.
The frontend group seems to modify the code right now, so things may not work for a short time.
