Still fails to build

@michals Yes, I know just the changes need to be in devel in case anyone gets round to fixing it. I will add a note on the libexecdir changes page that this won't reach Factory until fixed.

note that the build failure must be due to something else in the hardware repo - building the exact source against openSUSE:Factory builds just fine

I'd argue it's these lines in prjconf breaking it:

# For apcupsd:
Prefer: sles-release
Prefer: dummy-release

paired with the fact that it fails to properly parse the 'ID_LIKE field; ID_LIKE is (or can be) a list of IDs (unlike ID) and in Tumbleweed this is 'opensuse suse' - this makes the build system stumble

Putting it down to the spec file, the issue is in:

--with-distname=$(grep ID_LIKE %{_sysconfdir}/os-release | cut -d = -f 2 | tr -d '"')

Unless you really care for this to be buildable on non-SUSE distros, you could just as well

• drop the distribution-release BuildRequires
• pass --with-distname=suse to configure. We know who we are.
• If you want to be nicer to 3rd party distros, you can wrap that in a %if 0%{?suse_version}
