  Could bethis electron-builder issue. It's difficult to say for sure though because the underlying error message from rpmbuild is not printed. Consider running your build command withDEBUG=electron-builder and add the output to your question if it prints anything useful.

• Tested package.json in debian with a small project, rpm created without problem.
