  The 'at' package always fails to build towards the end of every
month.  No, I'm not kidding ;-).  Search the archives of this list.  It
has something to do with a bug in the test suite not handling the
variable lengths of months too well.  Set the date of your build system
to June 15 (or thereabouts), or just wait until after the first of the
month to build this package.

  There is a circular dependency between these two packages.  Check the
top of the gimp-print spec file for instructions on bootstrapping them.

  I forgot the problem with this one, but I think it had something to do
with some bonobo development package(s).  If I remember, I'll let you
know.

  The spec file for this package has a missing BuildRequires.  It should
depend on python-tools which includes the file /usr/bin/pygettext.py
needed for building it.  Simply install the python-tools package (no
need to change the spec file of redhat-config-language, really) and it
should build.
