Re: [CentOS] Anyone seeing mock breakage after updating to 4.4?

Johnny Hughes napsal(a):

...

1. installed mock-0.6.4-1
2. run mock pam...src.rpm - OK
3. yum update rpm - updated to 4.3.3-18
4. run mock pam...src.rpm - OK
5. yum update yum - updated to 2.4.3-1
6. run mock pam...src.rpm - OK
7. yum update sqlite - updated to 3.3.3-1.2
8. run mock pam...src.rpm - not working anymore, because yum is not working
9. rpm -Uhv python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2
10. run mock pam...src.rpm - OK
11. yum -y update, no reboot to stay on older kernel
12. run mock pam...src.rpm - not working - "can't create transaction

lock on /var/lib/mock/centos-4-i386/root/var/lock/rpm/transaction" and "Could not find useradd in chroot, maybe the install failed?" 13. reboot, run mock - the very same

The fix is to define _rpmlock_path inside the chroot as the user who is installing the software (per the above link).

No, I guess, this is not the issue. Setting %_rpmlock_path didn't help. As I have written, upgrading to rpm-4.3.3-18 within CentOS 4.3 doesn't block 'mocking'. David
