Whoops, I meant to send this to the list, too.

A little digging on one of our Fedora boxes shows that it's in perl-Test-Simple:
  [dustin@buildbot-f7 ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/More.pm
  perl-Test-Simple-0.62-23.fc7
I just added that to the wiki.

AMANDA_TMPDIR is a build-time constant, so it doesn't matter which
configuration you're using.  I neglected to remove the file after the
checks were done, so that file already existed, owned by you, when you
tried to run the checks as 'amanda'.  Result: permissions error.  I'm
adding it to my list of tweaks to the installchecks.
