That's good :-)

I removed my pkgbuild patch and added the
"%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0
to my cups spec files. And it built okay.
I then thought I would try to build the cups package without either the
patch or the %define and for some reason it built okay. So why wasn't it
building before, all I can think of was that when I first started doing
the builds I was using an earlier version of the CUPS package and that
was causing the build problem; and I didn't recheck it when I switched
versions. So my build of cups is now using neither of them, which is how
it should be.
