Has anyone got MaiScanner running on Mandrake 10.1?

[Brian Parish]

Can rebuild source rpms designed for Mandrake use, but attempting it
with the rpms provided with MS, you'll get results like this:

bzip2: Bad flag `-n'
bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor.  Version 1.0.2, 30-Dec-2001.

   usage: bzip2 [flags and input files in any order]

   -h --help           print this message
   -d --decompress     force decompression
   -z --compress       force compression
   -k --keep           keep (don't delete) input files
   -f --force          overwrite existing output files
   -t --test           test compressed file integrity
   -c --stdout         output to standard out
   -q --quiet          suppress noncritical error messages
   -v --verbose        be verbose (a 2nd -v gives more)
   -L --license        display software version & license
   -V --version        display software version & license
   -s --small          use less memory (at most 2500k)
   -1 .. -9            set block size to 100k .. 900k
   --fast              alias for -1
   --best              alias for -9

   If invoked as `bzip2', default action is to compress.
              as `bunzip2',  default action is to decompress.
              as `bzcat', default action is to decompress to stdout.

   If no file names are given, bzip2 compresses or decompresses
   from standard input to standard output.  You can combine
   short flags, so `-v -4' means the same as -v4 or -4v, &c.

RPM build errors:
    File not found:

and variations on the theme.  I have no knowledge of how a src rpm is
built, but understand that it's some difference with the way Mandrake is
set up that needs to be reflected in the spec files.  ODes that make
sense?

I would be happy to provide ssh access to a Mandrake server for testing
purposes if that helps.

cheers
