I use CheckInstall to automatically turn my installs into RPMs, and it
worked great up until I upgraded my PC to Mandriva One 2007 Spring.
CheckInstall produces a spec file like this:

Summary: nethack
Name: nethack
Version: 3.4.3
Release: 1
License: GPL
Packager: checkinstall-1.6.1
Group: checkinstall
BuildRoot: /root/tmp/YGcFFbcZSCJRRcdSjJkCH/package
Provides: nethack
Requires: ,/bin/sh
%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0

But when CheckInstall (or me from the command line) do this:

rpmbuild -bb nethack-3.4.3.spec

it looks for the files under /root/tmp/nethack-root rather than /root/
tmp/YGcFFbcZSCJRRcdSjJkCH/package. I must have something about
rpmbuild horribly misconfigured, but I haven't a clue as to what,
since I know nothing about making RPMs.

I'm using rpm-build version 4.4.8, release 5mdv2008.0

Thanks in advance.
