I've been testing trying to build 1.6.1 (and just tried with 1.6.0
too) with mock on RHEL6, using the mock package from there
(mock-1.1.21-1.el6).  For both the SRPM, I get this:

ERROR: Command failed:
 # ['/usr/bin/yum-builddep', '--installroot',
'/var/lib/mock/epel-5-x86_64/root/',
'/var/lib/mock/epel-5-x86_64/root///builddir/build/SRPMS/openafs-1.6.1-1.el5.centos.src.rpm']

Error: No Package found for kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5-x86_64

I'm running this as my mock command:

mock -v --define 'kernvers 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5-x86_64' -r epel-5-x86_64
 openafs-1.6.1-1.src.rpm

I think the define is required because otherwise it uses the output of
`uname -r` to determine what kernel release to use.

This normally works, which is why I'm confused.  I know I built the
1.6.0 RPMs in mock when it came out, so something has changed in my
environment.

I'm not certain, but I think there might be a problem with the version
of mock or yum in RHEL6 which is causing these problems for epel-5
systems.  I'm trying to build from a SRPM built from git and I'm
getting even stranger problems where it isn't even finding perl-devel
(!).
