rpmbuild isn't broken, the package you are trying to build may be, though. Sometimes developers choose not to include various files as well, if they aren't needed. The rpm build process is creating files that haven't been included in the %files section of the spec. You can stop it by including the following in the spec file: %define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0 You can also define it in your ~/.rpmmacros file. Out of curiosity, are you building these packages as "root' or a normal user?
