For the source spec file for amanda from 6.1 powertools, in the %install phase, make install prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr sysconfdir=$RPM_OPT_FLAGS/etc should probably be make install prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr sysconfdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc. ----------------------------------------------------------- #/usr/lib/amanda/reporter is commented out, but there is nothing in the changelog to indicate what might have been wrong with it. (If you don't change the spec but tell me why, that would be great.
