That one is simply foolish: The /usr/bin/mock command *isn't* mock. It's a helper program to summon the /usr/sbin/mock, which is the "real" mock. Hilarity ensues if you have PATH set up as many admins do with "/sbin" first, or if you compile a local copy and have /usr/local/sbin before /usr/local/bin. The list goes on. authconfig, liveinst, gparted, setup, tuned-adm, etc. etc. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
