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 think you called it.  I am trying to get the latest
running so I can ask for bug fixes and enhancements.
The developers won't even read past the version number,
even if the problem is easy to check in the current version.

Right now Simple Scan works, but is awkward to use.  Not
as awkward as xcuss (x common unix scanning system, also
known as xsane).



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

Thank you for the help!

Fedora has introduced weak dependencies, "recommends" and "suggests",
like Debian/Ubuntu/etc.

You can either remove the "recommends" or change it/them to
"requires", with the latter solution being the safer one.



Thank you!
