Yum command has been deprecated, use dnf instead.
See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information.
To transfer transaction metadata from yum to DNF, run 'dnf migrate'Redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf --installroot /var/lib/mock/fedora-22-x86_64/root/ --releasever 22 install @buildsys-build --setopt=tsflags=nocontexts'


You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
    rpm --import public.gpg.key


Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use
for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and yum
will install it for you.

For more information contact your distribution or package provider.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mock-1.2.7-1.fc22.noarch
dnf-0.6.5-1.fc22.noarch

How reproducible:
Always, for when targeting (mock -r <target>) a fedora-release < rawhide 

Steps to Reproduce:
see above.

Actual results:
see above.

Expected results:
Function.

Additional info:
There seem to be 2 bugs interacting
a) yum vs. dnf screwups.
b) mock/dnf mixing up host and target.
It's the only explanation I have, why mock/dnf are complaining about google-chrome. Though Googls' google-chrome-stable repo is enabled on the host, this should not interest mock.
