I had to set the $ARCH variable to i386 and change 16 to 18, and I successfully completed the tasks. /var/lib/mock/fedora-18-i386/ contains 2 directories: result root The results directory contained: available_pkgs build.log bash-4.2.48-2.fc18.i686.rpm bash-4.2.48-2.fc18.src.rpm bash-debuginfo-4.2.48-2.fc18.i686.rpm bash-doc-4.2.48-2.fc18.i686.rpm installed_pkgs root.log state.log The root directory appears to be a clone of root, a chroot perhaps? Steps/Questions: 1) I saved copies of the new bash RPM files for safekeeping as well as the originals. I did this in case of failure after installation and/or reboot. 2) If installation works, what test can I use to ensure the bugs are fixed. Can I begin testing right after installation or do I need to reboot? 3) If a reboot fails, what steps can I take to recover in case bash is not working? Is it possible to use yum in absence of bash? 4) If testing and bash passes, how can I safely remove /var/lib/mock/fedora-18-i386 directory?
