Jim,
Both the initial output and the verbose output show that the source rpm 
was installed. Check in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and you should find the 
synaptic.spec file. The source is in 
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/synaptic-0.48.1.tar.gz , as you can see from the 
verbose output.
This "warning: user machbuild does not exist - using root" is related to 
the inexistence of the user that was used to create the rpm package. It 
is just a warning to show that certain things related to the package had 
to be changed in your system (in this case , the owner of the files is 
root , instead of machbuild) and this doesnt affect the package at all.
