Description Andrea Veri 2012-05-20 13:45:24 EDT

Description of problem: Trying to create a Fedora's chroot on RHEL 6.2 fails with the following output:

DEBUG util.py:257:  RPM needs to be updated
DEBUG util.py:257:  ERROR You need to update rpm to handle:
DEBUG util.py:257:  rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) necessario a filesystem-3-2.fc17.i686
DEBUG util.py:257:  rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) necessario a setup-2.8.48-1.fc17.noarch
DEBUG util.py:257:   You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Version-Release number of selected component:

1. mock: mock-1.1.21-1.el6.noarch
2. rpm: rpm-4.8.0-19.el6_2.1.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
Grab an SRPM and setup a new chroot with:

'mock -r fedora-17-i386 --init'

The command fails with the output outlined above.

Comment 1 LightDot 2012-05-31 20:15:35 EDT

Just got hit by this, same error. I'm unable to build Fedora 17 packages on my EPEL/SL 6.2 build system.

Are there any clean workarounds?

Comment 2 Andrea Veri 2012-06-01 05:36:36 EDT

Not that I know of at this moment of time, I am raising bug's severity since it makes mock being unusable when building packages for f17 and I guess f18 too.

Comment 3 Marko Myllynen 2012-06-08 03:59:16 EDT

As the error message says, this is an issue with RPM, not with Mock.

I can confirm that Mock on RHEL 6.3 Snapshot 4 already can build F17 RPMs.
