Thanks, that explains a lot. This error has started appearing
recently in two of my packages, which previously built fine in mock.
Is this due to changes in mock? Is this a bug?
Not too long ago, mock failed to properly check for unpackaged files.
That seems to have been fixed.
I updated the builders to the fixed version of mock late last week.
OK, so I guess I have to change my spec files to deal with this.
However, the underlying reason this error has come up is that mock is
apparently building in a pseudo root environment. Since packages should
be able to be built without being root, it seems like it would be more
correct for mock to emulate a user environment. Wouldn't that prevent
/usr/share/info/dir from being created in the first place? I'm sorry if
I'm completely misunderstanding mock here.
I think the situation is that /usr/share/info/dir is created if
permissions allow it. A package build using root would obviously allow
it, but so would a package build as a regular user using a buildroot.
I think that the only reason that this is cropping up now is that
rpmbuild's checks for unpackaged files have been turned on under mock.
