[Libguestfs] Weird build bug in Koji / EL-5 (can anyone help?)

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Compare this successful build of 1.0.60 in EPEL-5:

  http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libguestfs/1.0.60/2.el5/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

with this unsuccessful build of 1.0.61, done ~24 hours later:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1477023&name=build.log

The unsuccessful build fails with:

  /usr/lib/rpm/debugedit: canonicalization unexpectedly shrank by one character
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304121

which is apparently caused by having ...//... (double slash) in a
source file path while compiling.  Indeed the case with the second
build, but not with the first one.

I've no idea what has changed between the two ... nothing significant
as far as I can see.  Anyone got any ideas?

This is the source I'm building from:

  http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/EL-5/libguestfs/
