You likely know, koji doesn't run the current mock.  It's
got mock-1.3.4 which used the old-style chroot rather than
systemd-nspawn.  I'm not sure how exactly networking is
disabled on the builders.

A fedpkg mockbuild of proftpd works with nspawn if you add
the '--private-network' option in site-defaults.cfg, i.e.:

  config_opts['nspawn_args'] = ['--private-network']

Without that option the way networking is disbled can cause
problems like this.

If you want to use the old-style chroot with fedpkg
mockbuild, it can be set in site-defaults.cfg via:

  config_opts['use_nspawn'] = False

Working out the issues with mock's use of systemd-nspawn
would be ideal.  I left off looking at it by setting the
'--private-network' option, but I didn't feel that I had
enough evidence that was the only/best solution to propose
it as a patch (particularly because it was used in a
previous iteration of the changes in the issue below).

As I mentioned in a previous reply, more discussion of this
can be found in mock issue #113:

  https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/issues/113

I remember thinking part of the issue seemed to be that the
solution currently implemented in mock sets the default
route to 127.0.0.1 but copies /etc/resolv.conf from the host
system -- regardless of the use_host_resolv setting because
systemd-nspawn overrides mock and copies the system
/etc/resolv.conf to the container.

If someone has some time to poke around with this and
perhaps open a new mock issue, that would be great.
