Here is a potential candidate (virt-top build bug):

It's one of the many bugzilla reports filed by Levente Farkas and one of the few RH responded. Apparently they included a bogus dependency in the spec. So, the remedy is either patch the spec or add the required package in the build environment.
Comment #5 from Rich clears it up quite nicely from our ( the CentOS ) side of things, the upstream package was built with that dep, so we would need to as well. I havent looked at the build logs to see if there is any buildtime or usage side implications. But it looks pretty clear for us, we need to build with that dep
But what if the spec file is missing, say, BuildRequires ? Would you add it to the CentOS spec ? Otherwise it won't build, of course. Apparently there is a known case in RHEL-6.
