The RPM build failed in some way. Look at the messages that were
produced when you run ROM.

One possibility, you the LINGUAS environment variable which kept the
necessary .po files from being installed.

Try unsetting LINGUAS before you build the RPM. (But, in any
case, there will be error messages telling you why building
the RPM failed.)
