Unexpected result 'rpm -bb'

[Alexander Volovics <awol home nl>]

Hello,

This might not be directly related to RH 7.2 but I am using RH 7.2
to do these tasks after all.

I am attempting to build an rpm from bbconf-1.2-1.src.rpm
after doing 'rpm -Uvh bbconf-1.2-1.src.rpm' and then substituting
a patched (with 'blackbox-taskbar-patches-0.4.tar.gz') version of
bbconf-1.2.tar.gz for the original bbconf-1.2.tar.gz contained
in bbconf-1.2-1.src.rpm.

I use 'rpm -bb bbconf.spec' and everything appears to be going
okay until the following:

----------------

RPM build errors:
    File not found: /var/tmp/bbconf-1.2/usr/man/man1/bbconf.1
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.7208 (%doc)
--------------------

When I look in /var/tmp/bbconf-1.2/usr/man/man1/ it does indeed
NOT contain 'bbconf.1' but it DOES contain 'bbconf.1.gz'.

But my patched version of bbconf-1.2.tar.gz does NOT contain 
the gzipped version 'bbconf.1.gz', only the original 'bbconf.1'.

1) Where does this gzipped version come from?

2) How can I correct this behaviour?
   The 'spec' file in bbconf-1.2-1.src.rpm does not contain any
   line with '%files' related to man pages.
   The only line with '%files' is: "%files -f ../file.list.%{name}".
   I do not see how I can use this to correct the problem.

3) Why does this happen when trying to create an rpm?
   It does not happen when compiling the patched bbconf-1.2 directly
   from the tar file. Then I get a corectly working bbconf with no
   problems at all.
