Yes, I just fixed this.

%_keyringpath is not mentioned at all and according to 'rpm --showrc  |
%grep "/$"' it is the only macro with a trailing slash. So maybe this
can just be changed. But it also does not hurt that much, because afaik
a double slash in a path will be handled like a single slash.
