mgarepo doesn't use rpmbuild to parse spec file, but python rpm 
bindings. And it doesn't look like a missing component issue, rather 
like some kind of version incompatibility (python 2.6, from the stack 
trace). Not really surprising on a debian stable version.

You'd rather invest some time in learning to debug python code if you're 
really wanting to suceed with this kind of setup.
