Uhh... when you install in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT the file will *never*
exist, as that is done at *build* time and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT is an
initially empty, temporary directory.
I think you're mixing up things. The "%install" is done at build time,
at install time rpm unpacks the archive in an "intelligent" way, like
honouring %config(noreplace) tags that are preserved in the rpm archive.
