I tried following the rpmdeps code but I gave up after one indirection
too many. I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with the RPM code base. I also
tried to use the %error macro using parametric macros for my
generators. I was able to get an error message but it wouldn't fail
the build either. Eventually, I accidentally found a nasty dirty trick
to fail the build:

    echo '!error: something went wrong!'

In the logs I get this:

> RPM build errors:
>    Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': !error: 
> something went wrong!

I can't say I'm proud of this hack but at least, the error message
shows up to give a clue. I can finally add some error handling to my
dependency generators.

Cheers,
Dridi
