Bug 163576

Created attachment 116910 [details]
test case spec file that should fail in mock but doesn't

rpmbuild -bs rpm/SPECS/testing.spec
mock -r fedora-4-i386-core rpm/SRPMS/testing-1-1.src.rpm

odd b/c findutils is in the default buildgroups.

Can you run:
yum --installroot=/path/to/that/mock/tree list installed

and see if findutils is in there?

if so then we're having a path problem of some sort.

findutils is in there

I'll upload the full list as an attachment to show exactly what is installed
when it builds the test case src.rpm (which should be just the bare minimals)

yum --installroot=/var/lib/mock/fedora-4-i386-core/root list installed

I see the same error that /usr/lib/rpm/check-files 'cannot get current directory'

It took me some time but I found the error. The problem is that
/usr/sbin/mock-helper chroot /var/lib/mock//fedora-4-i386-core/root
/sbin/runuser - root -c "/sbin/runuser -c 'rpmbuild --rebuild  --target i386
--nodeps /builddir/build/SRPMS/autossh-1.3-1.src.rpm' mockbuild"
runs in the home directory of the root user in the chroot and the user mockbuild
has no rights to stat that directory. There are many ways to work around this
error. One that works is following patch:

checked in your patch. Thanks.

When will this get deployed?

hmm - it's been checked in - just not a recent mock release.

I'll work on fixing that very soon.

Can we please get this deployed?  It's already caused me to mispackage at least
one piece of software.  I'm basically only building inside mock these days and
really need it to work.

How about finally deploying this?  Dan, in case you're still hacking the
buildsys at the moment, there's a trivial fix in comment 5...

Hm, Dan, I thought you had updated the FE buildsys roots with this fix, but for
example:

http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-development-extras/4478-lincvs-1.4.4-1.fc5/i386/build.log
[...]
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files
/var/tmp/lincvs-1.4.4-1.fc5-root
find: cannot get current directory: Permission denied
[...]

okay - I just verified it - this patch is definitely in mock in cvs.

I'm going to see if we can get a new version released this week with all of the
outstanding patches included so we can deploy it to all the builders and put to
bed a bunch of bugs.

I had, we've been using mock from CVS for a while now on the builders... I know
I patched the FE mock package with this a while ago.

So it looks like some of the builders haven't got it; at least ppc1 isn't
running the same mock as the rest of them are, which is wrong.

Indeed, based on looking at some build logs from today and yesterday, this is
still a problem.  Is there a problem with just bringing ppc1 up to date with the
rest?

Just put mock 0.4-5 onto ppc1, which is the same version that's on the other ppc
machines.  Please reopen if you see the issue again...
