Description:
Just wanted you to know:
rpmbuild fails on RH9 because of a comment containing %install in the %changelog in the mysql.spec file with this obscure error:

error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo
 

I think this only happens on RH9 building.

For more info, visit this link:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=96955

How to repeat:
on RH9:
rpmbuild -ba mysql-4.0.15.spec

Or any other rpmbuild command on the spec...

Suggested fix:
rename %install to install in the .spec:

--- mysql-4.0.15.spec~  2003-08-29 13:40:08.000000000 +0200
+++ mysql-4.0.15.spec   2003-08-29 13:44:39.000000000 +0200
