well, I don't know about Mike, Jean or John... but I for one am not
psychic... perhaps a nice little message at the top of /usr/lib/rpm/
copies of the files along the lines of:

Some time ago I mentioned in these circles, and some discussion ensued, that
I'd had some difficulty building a kernel src.rpm.
As I recall, the most intractable problem was that it made a device (mknod)
during the build process.

After installation of pspell-0.11.1-1, which aspell-0.32.1-1 depends on
according to the .spec file,
Requires: pspell >= 0.11.1
Buildrequires: pspell-devel >= 0.11.1

# rpm -Uvh procps-2.0.7-2.i686.rpm rusers-server-0.17-5.i386.rpm
