Hmm.  Very many thanks for that offer. I had a feeling people were 
bypassing the rpm stages.

I'm not sure at present what state I left my trial f21 specfile in, but 
it was failing well before the packaging stage.  I think I would need to 
have a look at it again, under f22, before inflicting it on you, and 
there doesn't seem much point in sending the qt4-one now.

Maybe I can try a basic non-packaged build on f22, since if it doesn't 
work I ought to be able to revert to Richard's 0.27-fixes that's on it 
now.  I'll see what I can do.

Thanks again.  I'll be in touch :-)
