Summary:                    CPackRPM reports "warning: File listed twice"
because it recurses directories in %files
Description: 
During RPM packing, the %files list in the .spec file contains all directory
ancestors of installed files (i.e., it includes /usr and /usr/bin as well as
/usr/bin/foo).  Because unadorned entries in %files that are directories will be
recursively searched, this causes /usr to bring in /usr/bin and /usr/bin/foo
again, and /usr/bin to bring in /usr/bin/foo again-again.  rpmbuld reports this
with "warning: File listed twice: /usr/bin/foo".

Steps to Reproduce: 
Pack any RPM that installs to a directory at least two levels under / (e.g.,
/usr/bin/foo).  Pack with debugging on: cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G
RPM

Additional Information: 
%dir directive for RPM spec:
