I'm not sure where that's coming from either then.  The error message is
saying that there is a termcap-5.5-1.20060701.1.noarch.rpm that's
getting into your buildroot somehow with a sigmd5 of 586d65.

You might want to check the rpminfo table and see if you can find
where/when termcap-5.5-1.20060701.1.noarch was added to the database.
