[Pkg-rpm-devel] Bug#882252: rpm stops build on warning "Invalid version (double separator '-')", older version works

[Martin Petersen]

This clears this up for me. I will take this bug to the 3rd party
developers whose code I wanted to compile.

Thank you again and excuse this wrongly filed bug, I should have checked
the recent status of this string handling by rpm considering warning/error.

Kind regards,

Martin
