   Almost there, but still cannot generate chroot in mock.

DEBUG util.py:264:  Error: Package: gnuplot-4.6.2-2.fc20.x86_64 (build)
DEBUG util.py:264:             Requires: libgd.so.2()(64bit)

gnuplot appears to be failing on some sort of texlive-related nonsense:

Execute script `gnuplot.lg'
/usr/bin/t4ht: line 2: -f/gnuplot: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/t4ht: line 3: -f/gnuplot: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/t4ht: line 4: -f/gnuplot: No such file or directory
--- error --- improper command line

and then it just appears to loop over the tex4ht usage message forever
and ever. I don't know if the error is in texlive-tex4ht-bin (which

   It fork bombs for me, and dies a bit later.

provides /usr/bin/t4ht and /usr/bin/tex4ht), or in how gnuplot is
calling it. (But I don't have time to figure out that crap, so I'm just
going to yum remove gnuplot...)

It is not parsing correctly arguments, and t4ht does not check
arguments:

$ cat /usr/bin/t4ht
#!/bin/sh
         $1 $2
         $1 $2
         $1 $2
         tex4ht $2
         t4ht $2  $3

on f18 at least, and other distros t4ht is a real binary:
$ t4ht --help
----------------------------
t4ht.c (2012-07-25-19:28 kpathsea)
t4ht --help
--- error ---

Example:

but on rawhide:
$ t4ht --help

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=959696. Renaming ht to t4ht was clearly the wrong thing to do. I'm reverting it for now.
