It wouldn't because the spec is designed for gtkpod 2.1.0, which no longer
uses libglade.

The difficulty is that there are no specific rpmbuild errors, other than
the "installed (but unpackaged file(s) found" errors. Everything compiles
correctly. See below.

Quite possibly.

Would you mind explaining why the "Requires: libid3tag" is not correct,
given that the libgtkpod library does require that as a dependency?

Basically, I am creating 8 distinct rpm packages, single package and
several subpackages:

gtkpod.rpm
libgtkpod.rpm
libgtkpod-devel.rpm
gtkpod-plugin-coverweb.rpm
gtkpod-plugin-media-player.rpm
gtkpod-plugin-flac.rpm
gtkpod-plugin-ogg.rpm
gtkpod-plugin-mp4.rpm

An example of the problem is the file:
/usr/lib/gtkpod/coverweb.plugin

This file is listed under the plugin coverweb %files section:
%files plugin-coverweb
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%{_libdir}/%{name}/coverweb.plugin

Despite this, the file is one of this listed under "Installed (but
unpackaged) file(s) found".

Thus, I am really confused and wondering if some vital syntax change is
required in the spec file?
