Ok, I see the error you mention BUT does the build fail or does the package fail to install?

I get all kinds of errors like that during my build process but to the best of my knowledge, they are innocuous and don't hurt anything... as all of the packages install and work on the final media.

Another thing to try would be to do the build with Fedora 14 and see how that goes.  Fedora 14 is basically done and will be distributed to all of the mirrors for public release next Tuesday... unless they have decided to slip the schedule... and since I haven't heard anything yet, I'm assume it is going to be on time.

TYL,
