packaging different dependencies in one rpm file

I want to install chef inspec. I know that can be done using gem install inspec but i want to create a rpm file from this gem. I also want to put all the dependencies of inspec together in this rpm package. How can I do that? One way is to use fpm. I have created a tar file and put all the dependencies there and used fpm -s dir -t rpm -n "inspec" /path to tar file/. It creates a rpm file inspec-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm. But when I run rpm -ivh inspec-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm, it gives error: unpacking of archive failed on file /path to tar file: cpio: chown failed - Operation not permitted. What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to do so?

You gem2rpm to create the package. And package all dependencies separately (you will thank me later).

You can even use this Copr repository: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/rubygems/rubygems/

where is this package already built:
