I think this is one of the two basic scenarios that should be working so cloning this bug to RHEL-5. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1024070 +++ The yum-builddep man page says: The source RPM for the specified package must be available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) But adding an enabled source yum repository doesn't make yum-builddep function in RHEL 7. Editing the repo file to have enabled=0 instead of enabled=1 does make it work, though. Toggling it back to 1 again, makes it fail again. It's apparently only looking at disabled repositories.
