yes, there are some problems with help files in the spec file. But, this
was working in previous versions (if I remember correctly), so we only
need somebody with spec file knowledge to have a look and fix that.

If nobody does it, I will be removing the help files from the spec
files, so we will be able to build RPMs at last, although with no
documentation :-(

Anybody knows about spec files ? :-)

Darren, to solve your particular problem, just remove the help files
from the spec file and rerun rpm -ta.

cheers
