[LDM #KPF-511717]: Not using a root account to build RPM for LDM but getting superuser error



James,

Unfortunately, I'm not an RPM expert.

Also, not all the systems we must support use RPMs natively (Ubuntu Linux, MAC
OS, Solaris, etc.). This is one of the reasons we recommend building from 
source.

If you can find the source of the problem and fixing it requires a change to the
LDM package, then I would love to hear from you.

I'll create an issue on this on the LDM GitHub site and broadcast a request for
help to the LDM community. That's the best I can do.

Good luck.
