When I consult <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package>
(dated 23 May 2016)
I'm told to dnf-install fedora-packager, but this brings up
[root@william tim]# dnf install fedora-packager
Error: package fedora-packager-0.5.10.7-1.fc24.noarch requires mock,

and similarly
[root@william tim]# dnf install mock
Error: package mock-1.2.17-1.fc24.noarch requires systemd-container,
  but none of the providers can be installed

Is this because I am running Fedora-24 beta?
Must I wait for 3 days?
(Oh dear, I see it has been postponed until June 14.)



Use 'dnf --best install' this should hopefully provide more info about rpm dependency problems.
