hello,

I'm suprised that an SRC.RPM from the rhel5 repo needs a file from FC7.

I grabbed rpmdevtools from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/

it rebuilds fine as EL5, but when I go to install it, it requires a version of rpm-build higher than the C5 base version (4.4.2-37) --------------------- grab dependencies ------------- $ rpm -qpR rpmdevtools-6.1-0.1.noarch.rpm ... config(rpmdevtools) = 6.1-0.1 cpio diffutils fakeroot ... perl(File::Spec) perl(File::Temp) perl(FileHandle) perl(Getopt::Long) perl(strict) redhat-rpm-config rpm-build >= 4.4.2.1 rpm-python rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 ... --------------------- end snip --------------- I reverted to the lower version 5.3.xxx and it works fine. -- Mark
