[Rpm-maint] rpmbuild error with 4.4.2.2 (but not 4.4.2)

[Joachim Worringen]

Greetings,

we are building RPMs from an autotools-based source tree being installed 
via plain "make install". This works fine with rpmbuild up to 4.4.2 
(RHEL5), but fails with Fedora Core 8, which has rpmbuild version 
4.4.2.2(-3.fc8 and -7.fc8) installed. The log says:

"

Is there a problem with the libs being in lib64, not in lib? But as I 
said, this works fine with rpm 4.4.2 and before.

The error message "Found '/tmp/DISRPMROOT_282/tmp/DIS-root' in installed 
files;" seems to make no sense at all.

More info available on demand.

  thanks, Joachim
