Jeff,
I had a similar problem, so I installed the source rpm(rpm -Uvh filename),
and built the package from the SPECS directory(rpm -ba specfilename). I also
had to add the qmail users/groups manually(prior to the build). After that,
it built and installed fine.
Hope this helps...
Regards,

Subject: Can you help me install Qmail?
I am installing Qmail from RPM on a Redhat 6.1 system.
I am having a bit of trouble with the following instruction:
According to the README.var-qmail:
---------------
4) Get the package qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm from this directory.
This package does not contain the qmail sources; it contains a
tarball of the compiled qmail binaries and a spec file.
Execute
rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm
--------------
So I do it, and here is what I get:
[root@cueva /root]# rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm
Installing qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm
Bad owner/group: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/var-qmail-1.03.tar.gz
Here is ls -la of
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
[root@cueva /root]# ls -la /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
total 300
drwxr-xr-x 2 root 0 4096 Apr 16 19:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root 0 4096 Feb 27 03:13 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 293692 Aug 16 1999 var-qmail-1.03.tar.gz
This is a RedHat 6.1 machine
Can anyone get me past this hurdle?
Help!
Thanks!!
