I downloaded the latest version of the Splunk addon for linux and when deploying, I see this error in the web UI "No spec file for: /opt/splunk/etc/master-apps/Splunk_TA_nix/default/eventgen.conf"
The app was deployed and exists on the indexers. Just curious why I am seeing this on a fresh install.
What can I do to resolve this?

As far as I see this - because the TA ships with a eventgen.conf (which it shouldn't), and to correctly interpret such a config, Splunk would need the eventgen.conf.spec from the eventgen TA. As you don't have that it installed, it complains because it can't verify that .conf file. You can safely ignore this (and better, remove that eventgen.conf from the app at all).

Thanks for the clear answer.
