Here's another %doc change:

%doc doc/Users\ guide\ Apache.html

Gets executed as:

+ cp -pr 'doc/Users 
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/rubygem-passenger-3.0.19-1.fc19.i386/usr/share/doc/mod_passenger-3.0.19'
cp: missing destination file operand after 'doc/Users 
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/rubygem-passenger-3.0.19-1.fc19.i386/usr/share/doc/mod_passenger-3.0.19'
