I have tested the ShowImg srpm and it builds without problem. The way
to debug this kind of stuff is to provide a fake find-provides which
spies the output of the real one. Put that line in your ~/.rpmmacros:
%__find_requires /tmp/find-requires
and in /tmp/find-requires put:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires | tee /tmp/fr.$$
exit 0
don't forget to chmod +x /tmp/find-requires and after a build, you
will see the result of the real find-requires in /tmp/fr.*
