E.g.,
mock --dnf-cmddebuginfo-install PACKAGE
is equivalent (very simplified) to:
chroot $chroot
dnf debuginfo-install PACKAGE
dnf-cmd is command, not an option. So you cannot combine --rebuild and
--dnf-cmd.

This is problem of repository and needs to be fixed there.
As a workaround you can modify your config and set
config_opts['dnf.conf'] = """
[main]
...
best=0
...
"""
But this will silently hides new version of packages from you and may
result to builds which may have broken deps on current distribution.
Hi.
I've already fiddled with "best=" and it does not help, build still
fails, does not get packages build.
I'm told that it is a "classic" chicken-egg problem for,
"minimal/standard" buildroot with 'mock' for every/any package, includes
"libmpc" - if that is true then:
a) I must recreate buildroot locally and fiddle with it in such a way
that then new/higher version of the package replaces old/current and
uses that "local" buildroot for everything else - would that work and
how to get there?
b) I see this as chance to suggest (can't fix myself) an enhancement, a
possible great improvement to 'mock' - where mock will be able to
"handle" such a chicken-egg problem by giving priority, always or by an
option/argument, to the higher version of the package overwriting(or
ignoring) what is in that "standard/minimal" buildroot - would you think
I could use Bugzilla for making such a suggestion?
many thanks, L.
