Imagine a koji build with: publican-fedora-4.0-2.fc21.noarch publican.noarch 0:4.1.3-3.fc22 fop.noarch 0:1.1-8.fc21 as per https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/7133/8967133/root.log While building the systemtap RPM normally, publican is used to generate PDF/etc. documentation. On Fedora 22 and rawhide, this gives a FOP error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xmlgraphics.xmp.Metadata.mergeInto(Lorg/apache/xmlgraphics/xmp/Metadata;)V at org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFRenderingUtil.renderXMPMetadata(PDFRenderingUtil.java:356) at org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFDocumentHandler.handleExtensionObject(PDFDocumentHandler.java:290) at org.apache.fop.render.intermediate.util.IFDocumentHandlerProxy.handleExtensionObject(IFDocumentHandlerProxy.java:197) at org.apache.fop.render.intermediate.IFRenderer.startPageSequence(IFRenderer.java:519) at org.apache.fop.area.RenderPagesModel.startPageSequence(RenderPagesModel.java:97) at org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.PageSequenceLayoutManager.activateLayout(PageSequenceLayoutManager.java:104) at org.apache.fop.area.AreaTreeHandler.endPageSequence(AreaTreeHandler.java:267) at org.apache.fop.fo.pagination.PageSequence.endOfNode(PageSequence.java:128) at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder$MainFOHandler.endElement(FOTreeBuilder.java:347) at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.endElement(FOTreeBuilder.java:181) at com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.ToXMLSAXHandler.endElement(ToXMLSAXHandler.java:265) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.endElement(AbstractSAXParser.java:609) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.xinclude.XIncludeHandler.endElement(XIncludeHandler.java:1059) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanEndElement(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:1782) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDriver.next(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:2973) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:606) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.java:117) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:510) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:848) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:777) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:141) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.java:1213) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(SAXParserImpl.java:649) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerImpl.transformIdentity(TransformerImpl.java:674) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java:743) at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java:357) at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.transformTo(InputHandler.java:300) at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.renderTo(InputHandler.java:130) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.startFOP(Main.java:177) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.main(Main.java:207) FOP error, PDF generation failed.

FOP currently fails to compile because of qdox update (1.12.1 -> 2.0) and xmlgraphics-commons (1.5 -> 2.0). It's not surprising it doesn't work in this case. See http://koschei.cloud.fedoraproject.org/package/fop
fop in rawhide has been fixed to work with current xmlgraphics-commons. Systemtap seems to build fine: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9273418
It seems the problem was fixed in rawhide via bug 1194369 but Fedora 22 repos still carry fop-1.1-8.fc21. Could you please fix the packages for Fedora 22 as well -- it's supported for another ten months ...
Installing fop-1.1-9.fc23.noarch on Fedora 22 machine makes my use case work, so it seems like merely rebuilding that for Fedora 22 should be enough.

fop-1.1-9.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/fop-1.1-9.fc22
fop-1.1-9.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
