Either way the deps are not satisfied.



and samba probably doesn't build because you have too much builddeps installed
or similar.

"too much"... The spec spell out what to build -- if some things should
not build, then the spec shouldn't build them.

But *part* of the problem requiring python to build everything and going
through a lengthy brp-check that seems to recompile all the python byte code for
every package -- even though the packages don't contain python code.

In this particular case, though, the spec file uses wildcards to delete files
in directories that do not exist -- I fail to see why the spec file would delete
files in directories that the spec file doesn't create ***AND*** do not exist on my
system either.. I have no files of the form /usr/lib64/ldb/libp* on my system due
to any "excess builddeps"...

I fail to see either reasons applying in this case.
