I'm having some trouble with this.  Here's a log of what happens:

        $ rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
                <vi appears; I edit the text on the screen as advised>
        Do you want to continue ? (y/N) y
        warning: Explicit %attr() mode not applicaple to symlink: /home/jonrysh/.tmp/rpmrebuild.9491/work/root/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth
        warning: Explicit %attr() mode not applicaple to symlink: /home/jonrysh/.tmp/rpmrebuild.9491/work/root/usr/bin/google-earth
        result: /home/jonrysh/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm

The rebuilt google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm is untouched.  I
could force installation using rpm, but then a large number of
dependencies would have to be installed.

What to do?
