Installing Tweetdeck - unsolvable?

[Steven Stern]

For the next person who might run into this....

I've installed Adobe Air (yes, but let's not go there) from the adobe 
linux repo and now I'm trying to get it to install Tweetdeck.

The installation falls apart:  Here's a snippet from the install log:

Adobe AIR Application Installer:19463][INFO] Converting unpackaged 
application to a native installation package in /tmp/FlashTmp.mRNCss
[Adobe AIR Application Installer:19463][ERR] Native installation package 
creation failed: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false 
eventPhase=2 text="Unhandled exception Error: Error creating the package 
/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/rpmbuilder error : Could not load 
the library: librpmbuild.so, librpmbuild.so: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory;

I don't have a librpmbuild.so file.  But there are these:

$ locate librpmbuild.so
/usr/lib/librpmbuild.so.2
/usr/lib/librpmbuild.so.2.0.0

The solution is to install the package rpm-devel?  Nope, because it 
fails later. The problem is that the Air installer is looking for an API 
call that no longer exists.  A bugzilla 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692381) indicates that 
that's just too bad.

I have reported the issue through Adobe's bug tracking system.
