I can't explain it. I am not an rpm guru.
All I can say is that under RedHat (7.2) the rpm macros seem to want
to find a "man1/bbconf.1.gz" in the BUILD_ROOT and not "man1/bbconf.1".
(all the man's included in the installed distro are gzipped).
When rebuilding the bbconf src.rpm I got the same message as
Yvon Thoraval: "File not found: /var/tmp/bbconf-1.4/usr/man/man1/bbconf.1"
When I gzipped the man page first everything worked perfectly.
