I'm not sure what you mean, can you clarify?

RedHat 9 includes a newer version of RPM that is "strict" about how
packages are done. Notably, it fails to rebuild packages whenever the
resulting package would install files on a user's system that you
haven't listed in the package which means later when the user removed
the package they may not be removed, or conflicts could be caused by
another package overwriting those files.

Sure, I'll get that file later today, and make any necessary changes and
then post a patch here. I wasn't sure whether I should post a patch or
not, I figured a gzipped .spec file was pretty small though ;)
