编译RPM包时出错，是什么原因啊？

我下载了xfce的源码包，在编译二进制包时，不能编译，出现这个错误：
error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo
这个错误是什么意思啊？
该怎么解决啊？

%trace pointed out that %install was getting evaluated twice; turns out I
had %install within a comment of the %changelog

So now it seems to make sense: because rh9 adds the debuginfo wizardry; if
rpm encounters %install more than once (even in %changelog; because rpm
doesn't _really_ care where a macro occurs within a spec); it'll attempt
to add a %package debuginfo more than once...

I would guess I've uncovered a side-effect of the implicit nature of
debuginfo packages; rather than an actual "bug".

Sorry for the noise; but maybe now others won't get bit by this new
%install/debuginfo "feature" of redhat9 (rpm >= 4.2)?  (or maybe others
aren't as clumsy as me; and don't reference macro names within the
%changelog =)

btw, I was able to disable the creation of debuginfo packages using:
%undefine _enable_debug_packages
