This is not (as far as I can tell) a build/dependency error.
Rather, RPM is very picky about the files listed in the
%files
section of the .spec (in this case, ximian-setup-tools.spec) file.
If one of the files listed there is missing, -or- if a wildcard is
listed and no files meet the pattern, then RPM refuses to build. I got
this earlier when trying to build an RPM.
The ximian-setup-tools.spec{,.in} file is often out of date/inaccurate.
There was some discussion about removing them from CVS and having the
GNOME Packaging Project deal with it, but I don't know what became of
that.
In the meantime, just edit
ximian-setup-tools.spec
and
ximian-setup-tools.spec.in
and in the %files section, comment out the lines
%config %{sysconfdir}/pam.d/*
%config %{sysconfdir}/security/console.apps/*
%{_prefix}/sbin/*
%{_prefix}/share/hcm/glade/*.glade
(comment them out by prefixing a
#
)
