[Distutils] Trouble with bdist_rpm and data_files

[Lucas Kannebley Tavares]

Hello all,

I wrote a setup.py file and managed to get debhelper to create a working 
deb package out of it. But I am having trouble with creating a binary 
rpm package. Apparently all data files are not found by rpmbuild.

running install_data
error: can't copy 'etc/proj.conf': doesn't exist or not a regular file
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.drqkKR (%install)

(I changed the file name for proj.conf in the e-mail as to not divoulge 
any corporate information)

But that file does indeed exist. It is at etc/file.conf in the repo, and 
it should be moved to /etc/proj/cli/proj.conf

The BUILDROOT/etc/proj/cli directory is properly created.

There are other data files listed, but none of them are copied properly, 
even if I change their order.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
