I'm trying to rebuild nx-3.2.0-8.el5.centos.src.rpm from the extras repo. It works on a machine running 5.1, but fails on another running 5.3. The working machine is arch=x86_64, the other i386. The strange bit is the line rpmbuild complains about: it's the last line in the spec file, at the end of the %changelog section:

[...] Processing files: nx-debuginfo-3.2.0-8 Finding Provides: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/nxfind-provides.sh error: line 352: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': - Updated SuSE package to work with Fedora

Checking on CentOS5.2/i386: rpms are being built despite errors.

So, 5.1 and 5.2 work, 5.3 doesn't. What's going on? Stricter spec file checking?
