Hello,
I try to rebuild some of the packages from the repo
and it looks like "make rpm17" in the directories:
rpm/redhat/17/postgresql-17/F-41 (tried on Fedora 41)
rpm/redhat/17/postgresql-17/F-42 (tried on Fedora 42)
fails with:
Processing files: postgresql17-debugsource-17.4-4PGDG.f42.x86_64
error: Empty %files file
/home/saper/src/pgrpms/rpm/redhat/17/postgresql-17/F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4/debugsourcefiles.list
RPM build errors:

make: *** [../../../../global/Makefile.global-PG17:104: nopreprpm17] Error 1
In fact, most of the lists that probably should contain some information
are empty:

I have stepped through the execution of /usr/bin/find-debug-info
and it seems that at the moment it tries to extract the information
from the binaries they are stripped already.
Fedora 42 is a brand new VM with lots of dependencies need to build
our stuff added. I have reproduced the effect on a laptop running
a pretty minimal Fedora 41.
I have managed to build libpq with the following patch, so not everything
is broken:
diff --git a/rpm/redhat/main/common/libfq/main/libfq.spec b/rpm/redhat/main/common/libfq/main/libfq.spec

I continue to research this, but what could
be wrong in my environment if anyone has already encountered this?
By the way, I have pushed my work around to build libfq to
