The message is quite specific. I'm assuming the following - if you're not doing thes consult some docs on howto[0]: 1) You're not building as root 2) You are using BuildRoot in your sepc Check your payload and %files section of your built rpm. Do rpmbuild -bi gnome-games.spec and then check the build root, to see if there is a <path to RPM_BUILD_ROOT>/var/log/scrollkeeper.log file in there, figure out what is generating it or nuke it in %install or use %exclude in the files list.
