I am running Fedora-14 on my 32-bit machine $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Dec 3 12:28:00 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I was trying to build rpm from source the other day, so I downloaded the rpm-source using $ yumdownloader --source rpm which gave me : rpm-4.8.1-5.fc14.src.rpm Doing a yum-builddep on this gives: $ sudo yum-builddep /home/jitesh/repos/rpm-4.8.1-5.fc14.src.rpm Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Getting requirements for rpm-4.8.1-5.fc14.src Error: No Package found for db4-devel(x86-64) Why does rpm-source need a 64-bit library for my 32-bit machine and how can I fix it? I tired installing the 32-bit db4-devel in the hope that it would do some black magic to get rid of the dependency (naive optimism). It didn't. I asked this question on IRC and I was told I am to use mock. Is it something mock handles gracefully? If yes, how? Thing is, mock is heavy-weight enough for me. I don't have that quick an internet connection. So, I'd rather emulate what mock does. Help appreciated!
