Yes. Try what it told you. "make rpm VERSION=9.17.0". It might want to
use "lbvers.py", not sure, but if so just put some empty one in your
PATH.

As I mentioned in the release notes I want these targets to be gone
anyways, so don't expect any fixes. We ship a debian/ and a spec file.
That has to be good enough for anyone that knows how to build packages.
Or you find to someone that knows how to build packages (we do for
example). Maintaining these "helper targets" that generate tarballs from
tarballs in git checkouts and what not is just too much pain. I expect
considerable cleanup if we remove them.
