Problem rebuilding Simons new source RPM

[Simon Matter]

Hi,

The only thing I can say is that the source RPM build fine on a
untouched RedHat 8.0 installation. I can't make sure it will build on a
system where many packages have been installed from other places than
the distribution RPMs.

It's as easy as this:
- Install RedHat 8.0.
- Rebuild the source RPM.
