Using "yum-builddep" misses packages that are in the RPMs ifdef conditionals
Issue
- By default,
yum-builddep
misses packages that are in conditionals. The yum-builddep command is documented to "install missing dependencies for building an RPM package", and it even goes so far to use the "kernel" package in its examples. However, yum-builddep misses packages in BuildRequires: lines that are in conditionals. For example, using the example command causes the subsequentrpmbuild -bb kernel.spec
to fail due to the following missed dependencies.
