That seems to be a bug in lame's specfile. In Redhat, the RPM macro system
(found in /usr/lib/rpm/macros) defines _tmppath, not tmpdir. Thus, it should
have been %{_tmppath}/package_specific_directory
You might want to see in your / if a directory called %{tmpdir} is created
or not. If there is one, the bug in lame's specfile is confirmed.
