Things have probably improved, but the lesson I learned from EPEL-8
and afterwords was that koji depsolving is weird no matter how set up.
Koji sets up mock environments in a way that will do fine as long as
there are NO modules in the repositories it is looking at. Once a
module, even a non-default module, is there things start to go wonky
because the way that koji depsolves will say that
'foobaz-3.10.1-3+module' is a better solution than
'foobax-3.9.4.<arch>' it will then try to pull that in and boom you
end up with broken builds. You can change the method that koji chooses
packages to be in the buildroot, but the other option ends up trying
to insert things like foobax-3.9.4-i386 into an x86_64  or still does
the modular change but chooses foobar-2 due to some depsolv quirk.

At the moment I think building without grobisplitter will work, but I
am thinking some other solution will need to be made when EL9.x starts
rolling out with modules in it.

time to shutdown -h now.
