I noticed this too, this also came up during a review  by me of kismet which
generates the same warnings. We (I and the kismet packager) concider this an
rpmbuild bug and have bugzilla'd it, see:

I noticed this too, it seems that gnucap @ gnu is dead, and that the geda
project has taken it over.

Hmm, unfortunatly I don't remember if I left that out on purpose or by
accident,  since there is no comment about it (there is in gcompris.spec) I'll
assume it was left out by accident and have put it in, this builds fine for me
too.

As usual during CET office hours I'm behind a machine which doesn't have upload
access to my homepage, so I've attached the modified specfile.
