You need to change your package's name, i.e. the value on the right-hand 
side of the "Name: "-tag inside of your rpm spec.


This is an untested re-write of your spec:

%description
PDFtk was written in Java and C++, and is natively compiled with gcj.
Sadly, it has been discontinued a few years ago and bitrot is setting
in (e.g., it does not compile easily on a number of platforms).

Philip Stark decided to look for an alternative and found pypdf, a
PDF library written in pure Python. He couldn't find a tool which
actually used the library, so he started writing his own.

This version of stapler is Fred Wenzel's fork of the project, with
a completely refactored source code, tests, and added functionality.

Like pdftk, stapler is a command-line tool.
