This is due to a signature change in RPM from F-11.

Blatanly ripping off Mr. Gallagher's post of a few days back:

To extract sources from an SRPM:
rpm2cpio <src.rpm> | cpio --extract
(Do this in its own directory)

To enable the old checksum (for building RHEL packages):
rpmbuild -bs --define _source_filedigest_algorithm=1 <spec>

This will recreate the SRPM using an MD5 sum instead of a SHA1 sum.
