This package fails to build in mock if the minimal build group is reduced to only the packages listed in the Exceptions section of the packaging guidelines. This problem can be fixed by adding a buildreq of intltool (which will also pull in the perl(XML::Parser) dep that is the apparent cause of the failure). Failing build log is attached.
Created attachment 130190 [details] Build log when built in mock with minimal buildroot
The spec file in CVS has been updated. Build works on x86_64 but on x86, a segmentation fault is resulting early on - I suspect a build system quirk, will try rebuilding in a week.
Matt's reports indicate that this is now OK.
