You could try editing the specfile to 'Requires' ?

Thank you and  was afraid of that.

I have a specfile (for MythTV) that works in mock under fc25 in builds for both SL7 and fc25.  It's based on one from rpmfusion and includes the lines

Requires:  python-MythTV
%{?fedora:Recommends:  mesa-vdpau-drivers}

But that might be using an rpmfusion macro.  And of course other problems might emerge;  fc27 is several steps away from el7.

Hi John,

At some point I am going to have to break down and learn
how to make my own RPMs.

What got me here was that "yelp" is installed and I am
being tagged for it being missing.  Something else to
learn.

I think the problem is that rpmbuild for el7 doesn't understand 'Recommends:'. As Tom H said, it's new. Iff that's the only problem you can perhaps just comment out that line - but IIUC you will need to build a new src.rpm from the edited specfile, and then try to rebuild from that.

But I suspect that a bare 'Recommends:' implies that no build for el7 from the fc27 srpm has yet succeeded.

I should probably add your "%{?fedora" tag all over the place.

Thank you for the help!
