nope ... I can give it a whirl. tho' not clear on what that tells me, or why
it might be a 'solution'
That may answer the question if that is Copr problem, package problem or rpm
problem. It looks like RPM problem to some extent to me, so I filled:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1851238
Speaking of solutions, either don't %undefine the macro at all (remove the
line), or re-define it to 0.

initially, while scrounging around trying to _not_ have to manually use
spectool 1st, these:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33177450/how-do-i-get-rpmbuild-to-dow...
https://jmahler.github.io/linux/2018/06/28/fedora_package_development.html
https://gitlab.cern.ch/eos/eos-folly/commit/e213d77fa90019b17d5d568301563...
not saying those are right/reliable, just frequent -- and what was found.
And since this is pretty common use case, copr already sets correct
default _disable_source_fetch to 0 for the users who upload plain spec
files.
Things should work out of box, but googling this problem actually guided
you to broken use-case, you found a corner case. Let's wait for 1851238
resolution.

i've been working with Fedora for a whopping 3-4 days now; a bit
challenging
at 1st to find thorough docs / examples on this^
and of course, the 'migration' isn't, atm, helping get at useful info ...
