Noticing something in the output

[Jesse Keating]

Is there a reason we do a yum resolvedeps prior to install?  I assume
maybe its checking to see if it _can_ resolve the deps, but couldn't we
rely upon yum install to error out if we can't resolve them?

I've wondered about that as well.  Mock does the resolvedep, then goes
on to mount /proc and /dev/pts so perhaps it's trying to avoid those
two mounts if it doesn't need to.  But it seems to mount them before
the resolvedep call anyway, so there doesn't seem to be much point at
all.  (Note that I do need to update to the latest version of mock so
perhaps it doesn't do that any longer.)
