Description of problem: I found a command to use mock to build package for a different architecture using "--forcearch". I didn't read the man page, I simly used it in the same way: $ mock -r fedora-31-ppc64le --forcearch ppc64le --rebuild ./innoextract-1.8-1.fc32.src.rpm ... Error: Transaction failed I couldn't understand why it failed. Only after asking people for help and debugging for some time, it turned out I didn't have qemu-user-static package installed. Once I installed it, it started working. If --forcearch requires qemu-user-static, why don't you fail immediately with a clear error when this package is not installed? That would be clear for the user and it would save a lot of time and troubles. If failing hard is not an option, can you at least print a very visible warning (printing it as the last line in the log, after the failed command, would be best)? Thanks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mock-1.4.20-1.fc30.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. use mock --forcearch when qemu-user-static is not installed 2. it runs, but fails with a non-obvious error
