Description of problem: While attempting to set up "mock" on my system to build fedora on ia64 I found that building glib2 fails because it cannot find "diff" in the mock chroot environment. It appears that the most recent buildsys-build located at: http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/development/ no longer depends on diffultils like older versions did. I doubt that ia64 is the only arch that runs into this and expect that if others are not seeing it that is because mock is caching it from a previous build. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): buildsys-build-0.8-1.fc8.noarch.rpm How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. mock clean 2. mock glib2-2.13.7-3.fc8.src.rpm 3. Actual results: build of glib2 fails because it expects to find diff for one of the scripts Expected results: Additional info:
