comps for EPEL5 was updated to include the epel-rpm-macros package some time ago, but when mock installs the buildsys-build group the package is not installed.
In addition, yum on an el5 machine with clean caches is unhappy with the comps file:
{{{
yum groupinfo buildsys-build Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Setting up Group Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.oss.ou.edu * epel: kdeforge2.unl.edu * extras: mirror.sanctuaryhost.com * updates: centos.unixheads.org base | 1.1 kB 00:00 epel | 3.6 kB 00:00 extras | 2.1 kB 00:00 updates | 1.9 kB 00:00 Failed to add groups file for repository: epel - comps file is empty/damaged Warning: Group buildsys-build does not exist. }}}
We talked about this on IRC a bit but I figured I'd go ahead and open a ticket.
I think this might be due to rhel5 not understanding bz2 repodata.
I am going to switch it to gz and see if that clears this up.
Indeed, switching to gz seems to have fixed it here at least.
I suspect this has been broken since we moved to bodhi2. ;(
