Description of problem: Boost's spec file has %{?_isa} macros in BuildRequires. This breaks dependency resolving of compose for src architectures. And also yum-builddep call to get build dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): boost-1.58.0-8.fc23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. a) $ sudo yum-builddep boost OR b) $ sudo dnf builddep boost Actual results: Output of b): $ dnf builddep boost ...

It was added due to a merge review comment of the Fedora package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225622#c38 Was that comment wrong about adding it to BuildRequires or did the guidelines change?
