Description of problem:

I'm running an i386 and trying to rebuild an SRPM for x86_64, however when I try to initialize the x86_64 chroot environment it fails:

# mock -r fedora-9-x86_64 init
INFO: mock.py version 0.9.7 starting...

State Changed: running yum

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

100%  This happens every time with every x86_64 configuration I try.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to an i386-based Fedora system
2. run:  mock -r <choose-any-x86_64-platform> init
3. watch it die.
  
Actual results:

See above.

Expected results:

A working chroot environment so I could build RPMs.
