AFAIK the following message from build log indicates incorrect regular expressions in
docbook-utils:
>  grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:] 
The character class must be inside bracketed expression, thus double brackets, please see
man grep. The new grep-2.7 checks for this common fault:

Right, but you could argue it's a regression as the behavior changed.
Could somebody please fix docbook-utils, otherwise all the GNOME koji
builds are going to fail.

Rawhide is acceptable to change like that, particularly this early in the f15
cycle.

Unless this change was made in f14. That is not acceptable for f14 at this stage.

Exactly... this is way late to be introducing this into Fedora 14. Any
reason it can't be held for F15? (Bug filed to this effect.)

The old behavior of that expression is not what the code probably expected, 
it just happened to silently do the wrong thing instead of throwing an 
error. The code which now errors needs to be fixed anyway.

Right, but now all the software that I'm developing doesn't compile.
This is F14, not rawhide.
