For a number of chroot operations (e.g. building), mock uses an unprivileged user it creates in the chroot. By default, the uid/gid for this unprivileged user is chosen based on the user running mock (it looks at env data from sudo/consolehelper to determine the real user). So, the builddir in the chroot is going to be owned by that unprivileged user. If you run mock as a /different/ user later and attempt to reuse the same buildroot, then you will get the errors like the ones you are seeing. Short answer: different mock users cannot share chroots. Easy fix: run mock clean to clear the old junk out of the buildroot. -- buildsys mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/buildsys
