The review was done by me(my first review). I am unable to understand
this problem. The mock build
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=431692) did not
have any problem. Even the final build is shown successful
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=39609).

I think the spec template for font packages should have some more info
about the %prep section. A  similar %prep used in madan-fonts did not
have such problem.

May I get a help on this?

Thanks,
Rahul.
