The issue is that pyqt4 and pyqt4-devel are not available on the latest versions of Fedora.

The following prerequisites need to be installed

sudo dnf install git nano qt qt-devel python-devel libtool lmdb swig python-psutil

Other notes.

Armory relies on Bitcoin Core. You can install BitCoin core from https://bitcoincore.org. It will need to be fully synced which can take a long time “as in days/weeks”. Note that Armory will not work if you have the blockchain pruned. Which means you’ll need about 500GB of space for the BitCoin blockchain.
