.src.rpms for many of the system-config-* packages have bogus and unnecessary build-dependencies because of symlinks to automake helper scripts. Please fix this. I don't have a .spec file workaround for config-switch-mail because the offending gunk is in system-switch-mail-0.5.24/po/Makefile: MKINSTALLDIRS = /usr/share/automake-1.6/mkinstalldirs mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) `case "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" in /*) echo "$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" ;; *) echo "$(top_builddir)/$(MKINSTALLDIRS)" ;; esac` -- stig
it's fixed in 0.5.25. thanks for your report
