Woah.  This is not good.

This sounds like a broken specs file for the rpm.  I might be able to
help a little bit with them, since I dealt with those for some time when
I ported software to RHEL and Mandriva.  So if somebody would just drop
the .spec files in my email-inbox, I could have a closer look and try to
find the bug[s].
