I also needed par2cmdline and the two perl-NET dependencies. 
I used F40 sources for the perl items. Now that I've done 
this the order matters in the mock build process. Once I 
made my user a member of the mock group I cd'd to the 
directory containing my sources. First build mock 
BackupPC-XS...srpm then run mock --install 
/var/lib..../results/BackupPC-XS-...x86_64.rpm this installs 
it in the mock chroot environment. For building all the 
remaining sources you have to use the --no-clean option to 
mock or you'll loose all your prior work.
I installed the six packages w/o issue in my RL10.1 vm. You 
should create the backuppc user first before doing the 
install. I didn't so wil have to mess around with that 
before I can configure it.
