Exporting existing environment variables into mock

[Arun SAG]

Hi,

I figured out the problem. Mock is called by consolehelper.
Consolehelper by default sanitizes the environment variables. You can
tell consolehelper what environment variable to keep by editing
/etc/security/console.apps/mock and adding the environment variable to
KEEP_ENV_VARS.

$ cat /etc/security/console.apps/mock
USER=root
PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/mock
SESSION=false
FALLBACK=false
KEEP_ENV_VARS=COLUMNS,SSH_AUTH_SOCK,BUILD_NUMBER
