Very recent rpm has an internal dependency generator which is on by
default.  There's a macro you can change to switch back to the old
behavior of calling the external find-requires script.

Look around in /usr/lib/rpm/macros, and copy the relevant setting to
your .rpmmacros file, and you should be set.
