(Mock tool is used when building a package in Koji). I asked a maintainer of mock to fix it <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1136040> and he "fixed" it by not creating /etc/localtime at all. In the mean time I implemented a work around in one of mine affected packages and has not seen any issue like that. (Except of a user who complained that the Fedora package survives longer before reporting an error than an upstream's code.) What's your issue now? Is /etc/localtime a normal file again, or is the error message wrong and the file is missing completely? -- Petr
