Well yes, the bug is in the spec file, but no, that's not it. The
syntax for that line is just wrong. The BuildRequires line above it has
a related problem, too. It's kind of surprising that it's lasted this
long. It makes me wonder who's been downloading all those RPMs and then
not using them, because they are in fact unusable.
I don't know that I will make another 2.x release, so while waiting for
v3, the simplest thing would be to fix it yourself:
$ patch -p0 < spec-requires.patch
$ ./bootstrap [any configure script options here]
$ su -c 'make rpm'
