I should point out that mock builds are broken currently on FC5 because it
uses yum 2.6. groupreq is used by the fedora extras build environment to
include various levels of builds. When mock initiates the chroot it does a
"yum groupinstall build" which should pull in build-base and build-minimal,
and doesn't on FC5 machines.
This conversation was very timely. Now I know why the macros weren't
getting set properly.
