I've checked and see that I have /bin/id (part of > sh-utils-2.0.15-2mdk), and can correct the problem via a symlink, i.e. "ln > -s /bin/id /usr/bin/id". > > Is this a known problem with an official fix (rather than my band-aid)? > I'm not sure what bogofilter is, but you are playing with fire by trying to build your rpm as root without build-root called out in the spec file. As the install phase of the build could potentially disrupt your system, you are much better off building in your home directory. See the Mandrake RPM HPWTO for the details on how to do this.
Also, why are you trying to build an rpm from the tarball when a src.rpm is available for that available on the project home page? Is your problem perhaps related to the differences between where RedHat installs id vs where Mandrake installs it? A patch to the source for Mandrake diffs might be in order, or the symlink -- Gregory Meyer ___________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
