I'm guessing these can be ignored, they seem to be output from the
debuginfo shell script and I don't see anything in the spec causing
this, but then again I'm a pretty new packager :)

I could not find this file anywhere in BUILD or BUILDROOT so I'm
guessing it's gone. Not sure if it's needed. To get by this error
comment out line 400 of the spec file.

Another issue, a macro "minorver". I think it would be better to
figure out how to pull this from the source rather than statically set
it but it's currently set to 701 on line number 39 and needs to be
incremented to 702, i.e.:

%define minorver 702

I'm building again but will probably go to bed before it finishes so
I'll see if it completed or not in the morning.
