I have a program called gbuffy which is very old, but used to compile fine in F41 (and even in F42).

I am able to create a RPM but I have a strange problem in that while installing it, I get:

$ sudo dnf install ../RPMS/x86_64/gbuffy-0.2.8-3.fc42.x86_64.rpm

  - nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit) needed by gbuffy-0.2.8-3.fc42.x86_64 from @commandline

 You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages

I do not understand what the issue is. The spec file explicitly disables openssl and does not even require it.

As Marco implies, I'm pretty sure the rpmbuild process looks at the staged files during build and package, and calculates the required dependencies for the packaged binaries.

cf: https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/dependency_generators.html

So although your SPEC file doesn't explicitly call for libcrypto.so.1.1, if you examine the rpmbuild steps, you'll probably see one of the steps ldd-ing the binaries and auto-calculating dependencies.

Regardless of the SPEC, what does `rpm -qp --requires  ../RPMS/x86_64/gbuffy-0.2.8-3.fc42.x86_64.rpm` say?
