Ouch. Is this really to be considered a bug? I really hope not...
These files are created at build time. The probably contain some timestamp which makes them slightly different from one buildd to another. I do not see any easy way to fix this, nor do I see it as being something useful to "fix" since I don't think this package makes sense as multilib. Should I remove all files which make the devel sub-package in order to no longer have it? ... (yeah, I don't particularly like multilib...)
It could be that %_defaultdocdir (/usr/share/doc) for some versions of rpm contains hacks to work around multi-lib conflicts (cf. bug 228372).
Yup, all versions of rpm I know "work around" the problem already. And if it was left up to me, I would not make kannel available as multilib, since there isn't much (any at all?) point in doing so. So I'll close as WONTFIX. But I _will_ take care of non worked around multilib issues like in bug #228177 and bug #228359.
