for those who still use make-rpms I got a broken mock configuration with mock 5.2 on fedora 38
I needed to update my /etc/mock/nethserver-7-x86_64.cfg
+include('templates/centos-7.tpl')
+include('templates/epel-7.tpl')
-config_opts['root'] = 'nethserver-7-x86_64'
+config_opts['root'] = 'centos+epel-7-x86_64'
+config_opts['description'] = 'CentOS 7 + EPEL'
the error was
make-rpms libwbxml.spec
