Um. This doesn't make sense. It seems that the build process is
failing because it's looking for "man1/bbconf.1", not
"man1/bbconf.1.gz". Why would it fix things to gzip the man page? And
I'm honestly very confused as to why this would fail anyway, since the
%files list is generated dynamically based on what files are actually
there.
Anyone able to explain this annoying little feature of RPM-building?
Anybody else seeing this?
