SA isn't running at all now.
This sounds like you rebuilt the RPM as root and something in the rebuild 
procedure isn't root-safe and clobbered the live system. I only rebuild 
RPM's as a mortal.

To package as a mortal, create the file ~/.rpmmacros and put in it the 
lines:

%_topdir /home/buildmeister/rpm
%buildroot %{_topdir}/var/tmp
where buildmeister is the user who will be building RPM's. Create ~/rpm and 
under that create directories BUILD, RPMS, SOURCES, SPECS, SRPMS, and var.

Now run the rpmbuild command as user buildmeister and the process will be 
sandboxed in those directories.
