Description of problem:
A brief explanation.

I am building the openssl RPM from Fedora on a RHEL 4ES box. So it's not a bug in the Fedora OpenSSL RPM per se.
I have an .rpmmacros file reading:

%_topdir                /home/randrews/redhat
%_tmppath               /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP

Hence I build all of my RPMs as the user 'randrews'.

Whilst trying to build the openssl-0.9.8a-5 RPM, I received the message:

+ for conflict in passwd rand
+ rename passwd sslpasswd /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/passwd.1ssl
+ for conflict in passwd rand
+ rename rand sslrand /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/rand.1ssl /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man3/rand.3ssl
rename: renaming /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/rand.1ssl to /home/sslrandrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/rand.1ssl failed: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/rpm-tmp.52746 (%install)

This is because it's trying to rename my username "randrews" to "sslrandrews" too early on in the path.

Upon inspecting the openssl.spec, I found the block:

for conflict in passwd rand ; do
       rename ${conflict} ssl${conflict} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man*/${conflict}*
done

Now, this fails for 'randrews', but would also fail for a username of 'passwd*something*' (highly unlikely, I know, but possible).

I have changed this to:

for conflict in passwd rand ; do
        eval `find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man*/ \
                -name ${conflict}* \
                -printf "mv -v '%h/%f' '%h/ssl%f' ;"`
done

Which correctly renames the rand.1ssl/passwd.1ssl files to sslrand.1ssl/sslpasswd.1ssl respectively.

This will only affect users whose usernames have 'rand' or 'passwd' in them (most likely at the beginning) build RPMs in their home directory. If you choose not to accept this change, that's fine!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.8a-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fetch the openssl-0.9.8a-5 SRPM.
2. Install it with .rpmmacros to build in the home directory of a user of 'rand<something>'.
3. rpmbuild --rebuild/rpmbuild -bb the package.


Actual Results:  RPM build failed with:
+ for conflict in passwd rand
+ rename passwd sslpasswd /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/passwd.1ssl
+ for conflict in passwd rand
+ rename rand sslrand /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/rand.1ssl /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man3/rand.3ssl
rename: renaming /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/rand.1ssl to /home/sslrandrews/redhat/TEMP/openssl-0.9.8a-root/usr/share/man/man1/rand.1ssl failed: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /home/randrews/redhat/TEMP/rpm-tmp.52746 (%install)

Expected Results:  It should have successfully built an RPM.
