I have been told that the lack of python38-pytest is an issue with the
buildroot generation and so have filed:

https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10679

Hopefully this will make everything simpler as nothing has to be a module or
special in any way.

So this problem seems to be something with koji and that set of packages in that sub-directory. I tested this with the following:

1. koji mock-config --tag epel8-next-build --arch x86_64 > e8-next.cfg

2. cp e8-next.cfg e8-next-infra.cfg

3. change `https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/epel8-next-build/4499598/x86_64` to `https://infrastructure-iad.fedoraproject.org/repo/centos/stream8-kojitarget/latest/x86_64/CS-8-001` in the infra one. This points to the core repo that koji will try to import as a buildroot.

4. `mock -r e8-next.cfg --enable-network --install dnf; mock -r e8-next.cfg --enable-network --shell`

```

# dnf list python38-py*

```

5. Do the same with the other config so we see what the main is presenting to koji:

```

# dnf list python38-py*

python38-pyyaml.x86_64         5.4.1-1.module_el8.6.0+929+89303463         build

```

Notice the differing packages. For some reason part of koji is seeing some problem with the packages in a set of directories and is not allowing access to them.
