The issues for this are:

https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6365
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7931
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1565257

if anyone can help fix it, we'd definitely appreciate that. There are
definitely people who care about getting these reports and fixing
dependencies, but we also care about twenty other things at the same
time, and it's very difficult to do all of them.
