Found something. It fails when I build with a regular user (devrim in
this case), but does not fail when I run the build with postgres user on
the same laptop -- with the same ~/.rpmmacros files. That is why I never
had this issue on the build servers.

I don't have any clues now but could this be something related to the
uid being < 1000 ?
