Courier-0.47 RPMBuild error

[Fedora List Subscriber]

Hi Paul

Thanks for this insight, but I imagine it would be easier to apply the
relative softlink you mentioned earlier:

ln -s ../../some.dir/some.file $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/other.dir/some.file

than to hack the courier.spec file and apply the below?
