I see the actual issue got already solved, but just FWIW:

/usr/lib/rpm/find-provides and -requires haven't been used by rpm in 
ages, unless overridden by spec/configuration (and you do not want to do 
that, those old scripts will miss all sorts of things)

These days the equivalent thing to find-provides/requires is running 
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdeps --provides|--requires, that'll give the same 
results as you'd get while building, unless the spec contains tweaks to 
the dependency generation (it can be filtered, various bits and pieces 
overridden etc).
