I spent far too long on a new machine trying to figure out why ./autobuild.sh failed due to an rpm build failure (complaining that libvirt_parthelper was supposed to be packaged but was not built), and finally traced it to a missing parted-devel installation. I learned that --nodeps is in place for autobuilder setups, but for developers, removing it would make rpmbuild error out much sooner for a less cryptic failure. * autobuild.sh: Conditionally drop --nodeps from rpmbuild lines.
