I'm not sure if it was the move to CentOS 4.4 or what, but now my mock builds are failing on CentOS 4.4 hosts where they were working fine a couple weeks ago...
Digging through root.log shows this message buried in the middle of all the 'yum install' output: error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/mock/fedora-4-i386- core/root/var/lock/rpm/transaction
So far, I've had similar results building for FC3/FC4/EL4, so I'm guessing its a host machine issue rather than a chroot issue. Has anyone else come across this already? I am using an older version of mock - 0.4-2 on one machine, and 0.4-5 on another; has something changed since then to fix this issue? I guess I need to upgrade eventually to get the newer mock config setup, etc. but I've been putting that off...
Thanks, Jeff
Sorry, but I meant to add - inside the chroot, the directory /var exists, but /var/lock is not getting created.
