And that really refers only to the rpmbuild "warning: File listed twice ..."? I
have doubts about that (and I've done packaging guidelines stuff long enough).
Let me explain:

1.) That guideline would only be somewhat important for actual files (and not
directories). The rationale is simple: By mistake one can include a file more
than once in the same %files section (which does not do any harm!) and not
notice this when moving the file to the %files section of another subpackage.
Then you end up with the same file in multiple packages. That's bad, as it can
cause side-effects.

2.) That guideline would be more important if it referred to files listed in
multiple subpackages. Because that is something rpmbuild does NOT detect.

So, once again, consider it a hint/documentation on what packagers might want
to know about when creating packages.


Still no reason to require a package submitter to spend extra time on building
fresh rpms just for this. Here it was a simple redundant %dir entry. It can be
pointed out and fixed in cvs. It's not a blocker-criterion.
