Description john.l.villalovos 2006-09-20 00:07:52 UTC 
Mock does not work with RHEL4 U4.  It appears to be an issue where the
/var/lock/rpm/ directory needs to exist in the chroot before the yum command is
run.  This is due to a change in RPM that is talked about here:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0440.html

This email thread talks about the issue:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-September/069708.html

There is a patch in the email which looks like this:
patch for mock-0.6.4:

This is fixed in the 0.6.5 upstream mock, which hasn't landed in the FE repo's
yet. You can grab my tarball from:

http://people.redhat.com/williams/mock/mock-0.6.5.tar.gz

Hopefully the FE package will be out tomorrow.
