Hall?chen!

I try to distribute a Python application with i18n files (.mo).  My
setup.py says:

...
      data_files = [('share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES', ['po/de/felo.mo'])],
      packages = ['felo'],
      package_dir = {'felo': 'src'},

The directory structure seen from setup.py is:

./setup.py
po/
src/

This works perfectly with the bdist_dumb command.  However, when I
try to generate an RPM, it says:

...
    running install_data
    creating /var/tmp/Felo-1.0-1-buildroot/usr/share
    creating /var/tmp/Felo-1.0-1-buildroot/usr/share/locale
    creating /var/tmp/Felo-1.0-1-buildroot/usr/share/locale/de
    creating /var/tmp/Felo-1.0-1-buildroot/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES
    error: can't copy 'po/de/felo.mo': doesn't exist or not a regular file
    error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6388 (%install)


    RPM build errors:
        Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6388 (%install)
    error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

What can I do about it?  Thank you!

Tsch?,
Torsten.
