Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2003-09-19 00:55:23 MSD 
rpm-4.0.4-alt24

The difference between the 2 files is the Rusian translation. Here is the effect:

[imz@altair imz]$ rpm -bE urlview.spec  | head
ошибка: Файл /user/imz/urlview.spec не похож на файл спецификации.
[imz@altair imz]$ rpm -bE urlview-test.spec  | head


Name: urlview
Version: 0.9
Release: ipl8mdk

Group: Networking/Other
[imz@altair imz]$

rpmbuild accepts it
Comment 3 Ivan Zakharyaschev 2003-09-19 00:59:17 MSD 
I wish the error msg from rpmbuild would give more info: why the file is bad.
Comment 4 at@altlinux.org 2003-09-19 15:16:48 MSD 
256 leading characters of specfile should be ASCII characters.  Otherwise, rpm
behaviour may vary depending on locale settings.
Comment 5 Ivan Zakharyaschev 2003-09-19 22:28:40 MSD 
I think, rpm should report an explanation, perhaps the one you gave.
Comment 6 Dmitry V. Levin 2003-09-22 00:40:41 MSD 
Comment from at@ is quite correct, see rpm-4_0/build.c:isSpecFile() for details. 
 
Could you suggest exact message from rpmbuild instead of current 
"File %s does not appear to be a specfile.", please?
Comment 7 Dmitry V. Levin 2006-01-10 02:43:41 MSK 
I see no problem here.
