 Description   

I tested on 10.5. Maybe it is reproducible even earlier.

$env|grep CMAKE
 
CMAKE_GENERATOR=Ninja
 
CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL=8
 
 
 
$ cmake -DRPM=centos7 ../../src/10.5
 
$ cpack -G RPM .

In CPackGenerator -> set(CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Ninja") .
Note when we unset CMAKE_GENERATOR it uses MakeFiles and has different error, that is already known MDEV-16758 and MDEV-22276 comment

cpack -G RPM . was never tested, ninja or not, and we don't use it. It's not supposed to work. Use make package instead (or ninja package).

From https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.20/guide/tutorial/index.html#building-an-installer-step-7
"next step is to build the project in the usual manner and then run the cpack executable".

cpack isn't a builder, just a packager.
