Description of problem: On RHEL-7 mock is unusable in default configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mock-1.4.2-1.el7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 shell Actual results: INFO: mock.py version 1.4.2 starting (python version = 2.7.5)... ERROR: Command /usr/bin/dnf is not available. Either install package containing this command or run mock with --yum or --dnf to overwrite config value. However this may lead to different dependency solving!

Either install package containing this command or run mock with --yum or --dnf to overwrite config value. However this may lead to different dependency solving! Expected results: No error Additional info: The 'mock --yum -r fedora-25-x86_64 shell' works. I also played with the "config_opts['use_bootstrap_container'] = True", but I wasn't able to get it working. I think the mock for EPEL-7 should came with working configuration that works out of the box and it shouldn't traceback by default.
This should work, and it works for most users. Can you please paste here output of: python -c 'import distro; print distro.linux_distribution(full_distribution_name=False)[0:2];'
(u'rhel', u'7.0') Actually it's fully upgraded 7.3, just /etc/system-release*, /etc/redhat-release, and /etc/os-release weren't updated for some reason which is unknown to me.

Installed Packages redhat-release-workstation.x86_64 7.0-1.el7 @anaconda/7.0 Available Packages redhat-release-server.x86_64 7.3-7.el7 rhel-7 Ah, it's probably because it has been initially installed as a workstation by Anaconda and later upgraded from server repo, but yum should be still correctly auto-detected.
> (u'rhel', u'7.0') Weird. This used to be 'redhat'. I added 'rhel' to the set. Commit e8625f5. Thank you for the report.
