This isn't unusual for source rpms.  It just means it was bundled with
ownership of files as the developer,  whose account obviously doesn't
exist in your context.

Source RPMs don't typically show up there.  Build a binary RPM (or RPMs)
from the now installed SOURCE/SPEC combination and install those.
