Why is redhat-rpm-config not a dependancy dragged in by rpm-build?
I imagine because rpmbuild is in fact useful for building packages
other than for Fedora.
But then those packages need to provide some set of macros for debuginfo
packages, so there is some 'requires' that are currently met by
redhat-rpm-config that these non-fedora packages would need to supply
to rpm-build as well. So there is a dependancy.
If i recall correctly the recommended way to
install everything needed is "yum install fedora-packager" which pulls
in everything needed for Fedora related packaging including
redhat-rpm-config.
While grousp are convenient, the package dependancies should really be
in order.
