After setting up rpm as a non-root user as specified in the FAQ (user
"courier"), I started following the steps above. However, I got an
error in step 3. The rpmbuild in that step went for a long time, and
then, I received these messages and the rpmbuild aborted:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files
/var/tmp/courier-0.49.0.20050405-1.9-buildroot
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-34fax.html
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-34fax.pl
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-35fax.html
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-35fax.pl

RPM build errors:
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-34fax.html
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-34fax.pl
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-35fax.html
/usr/lib/courier/share/courierwebadmin/admin-35fax.pl

In step 1, I did an "rpmbuild -ta AUTHLIB-TARBALL". I did this
as user "courier".

In step 2, I went to ~/rpm/RPMS/i386 and did an rpm install of the rpms
that step 1 built for courier-authlib, courier-authlib-devel, and
courier-authlib-userdb. I did this as user "root".

In step 3, I did an "rpmbuild -ta COURIER-TARBALL". I did this as user
"courier".

What did I do wrong?

Thanks.
