It's a file conflict! The message is quite specific.  

I'm assuming the following - if you're not doing thes consult some docs
on howto[0]:

1)  You're not building as root
2) You are using BuildRoot in your sepc


Check your payload and %files section of your built rpm.  Do rpmbuild
-bi gnome-games.spec and then check the build root,  to see if there is
a <path to RPM_BUILD_ROOT>/var/log/scrollkeeper.log file in there,
figure out what is generating it or nuke it in %install or use %exclude
in the files list.
