Minq software provides a really great database tool called DBVis. The current release is version 6.0.2, and is a free download for personal use. When trying to install the above version, the rpm command fails with the following error: rpm -ivh dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm error: source package contains no .spec file This error is specific to Gentoo. The above command works under Fedora Core 7 (someone at Minq verified this) and it works under OpenSuse 10.1. I previously had version 5.x installed via rpm and it worked fine. For testing purposes, the RPM package for dbvis can be downloaded at http://www.dbvis.com/products/dbvis/download.html You're required to register (for free I've been registered for a few years now and the only messages I get from them are when a new version of dbvis is available). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm 2.As root: rpm -ivh dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm 3. Actual Results: Unexpected error message: error: source package contains no .spec file Expected Results: I expected the rpm package to install without any problems. It works fine on other Linux variants (Fedora Core 7, OpenSuse 10.1). emerge -pv rpm These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

Can you test this by using the latest ebuild in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190132?
I tried the ebuild via the link you posted and I get the same results: # rpm -ivh dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm error: source package contains no .spec file # rpm --version RPM version 4.4.9 # file dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm: RPM v3 bin i386 dbvis_linux_6_0_2.rpm
