Humm when you made the tarballs were you a super user?

No, I made them as a normal user.

and you checked under /usr/src/redhat(maybe mandrake in your case)/RPMS ? do a locate -u then do a locate for the rpm file locate filename.rpm or filename.i386.rpm

Found nothing... I looked closer into it today, and it seems to be a problem while compressing the man pages.

While building, I get the following questions:

Compressing files...gzip: usr/man/man5/maildropfilter.5 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y gzip: usr/man/man5/maildropex.5 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y gzip: usr/man/man5/dot-courier.5 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y gzip: usr/man/man5/maildropgdbm.5 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y

... and so on ...

gzip: usr/man/man8/authlib.8 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y gzip: usr/man/man8/userdb.8 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y gzip: usr/man/man8/mkesmtpdcert.8 already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y done Stripping files...

Later, errors like these come:

Processing files: courier-maildrop-0.24a-1 File not found: /var/tmp/courier-install/usr/man/man1/maildrop.1.gz File not found: /var/tmp/courier-install/usr/man/man1/reformail.1.gz File not found: /var/tmp/courier-install/usr/man/man1/reformime.1.gz File not found: /var/tmp/courier-install/usr/man/man5/maildropex.5.gz File not found: /var/tmp/courier-install/usr/man/man5/maildropfilter.5.gz File not found: /var/tmp/courier-install/usr/man/man5/maildropgdbm.5.gz

rpm then seems to exit normally, but no RPMs have been built.

Seems like gzip tries to write the compressed file to the original file without appending a .gz extension?!
