Perhaps. Removing --force as rpmbuild option will be the fix somewhen, as it does not do anything useful or important. You can easily achieve that "fix" right now by not using --force ;-)
I always loved your comments Jeff :) But, although I hesitate to admit it, removing --force would probably fix this for me ... because I always assume --force does what --nodeps does, it doesn't work and so then I add --nodeps ... so if it didn't exist I'd have changed it instead :) :). Anyway, yeh I stopped doing what hurt doctor :) ... feel free to close, if you want.
