From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Description of problem: One of the basic rules to building rpms is not to be root when you do it so you don't hammer your machine if there's a scripting mistake. device-mapper-1.00.14-3 absolutely requires you to be root because of the install phase. However, there is a configure option where you can tell it to do it as a normal user for packaging purposes. The %files section makes sure everything gets root permission, so its completely unnecessary to have to be root to build this package. To solve the problem, change the build section to this: %build %configure --enable-static_link --with-user=`whoami` --with-group=`whoami` make Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): device-mapper-1.00.14-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. su - buildsys ( or any other non privileged account ) 2. rpmbuild -bb device-mapper.spec Actual Results: The package build dies during the %install phase with permission denied messages. Expected Results: A message indicating where the rpm was written to. Additional info:
