Actually it does not try to make the directories. It just fails if
the directories are no

The directory is supposed to be included in the package but was left out
by mistake. I

I am no RPM expert but anytime I wanted to compile a source rpm I did
rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm
Dear People,
I recently tried to install a source rpm (as root) on a Debian
system. I got
laplace:/home/faheem# rpm -Uvh plugger-4.0-17.src.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES
But this works on my home computer
Chrestomanci:/home/faheem# rpm -Uvh plugger-4.0-6.src.rpm

First install package rpm (by apt, dpkg, dselect, deity, whatever)
Then rpm -bp just as if you were running RootHat. In fact, Debian's RPM
is simply RootHat's with a few cosmetic changes.
