"Doctor, it hurts when I do that."
'rpmbuild -bs' is broken. Don't use it.
Could you please elucidate why the command that people have used for nearly 30 years and is the most documented on how to build rpms is broken? And how people should use instead when they may be dealing with an environment which doesn't allow fedpkg to work? [AKA I am working on a package which I want to submit for review so I need to build a @$@$% src RPM somehow and I am being told I can't use the built in command to do so]
