Your Buildrequires are your declaration of what is required for the build the spec wants to do. You don't want it to depend on what happens to be around. I think what you want to do is: %define gnupg_version 1.2 %if "%fedora" >= "6" %define gnupg_version 1.4 %endif %if "%rhel" >= "5" %define gnupg_version 1.4 %endif ... BuildRequires: gnupg = %{gnupg_version} ... %check %if "%gnupg_version" = "1.2" this data %else that data %endif -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
