Mock "Could not find useradd in chroot, maybe the install failed?"

[Jeroen Janssen]

Hi,

I have been trying to build F7Test1 for a couple of days now, but I
seem to be doing something wrong. Since I'm running a FC6 (latest
updates) system, I need to run pungi within mock in order to generate
the F7Test1 installation media.

However, I can't seem to get mock to work, so I cannot build the
installation media.

As a test, I'm running the following:
mock --debug -r fedora-6-i386-core init

and the latest part of the output is:

DEBUG: Executing /usr/sbin/mock-helper yum --installroot
/var/lib/mock/fedora-6-i386-core/root update
Could not find useradd in chroot, maybe the install failed?
ending

I get the same error when trying to setup a mock for fedora-devel.

This is with mock 0.6.10-1.fc6, with the default mock configfiles.

Anyone here having the same problem, or is it just me?

Best regards,

Jeroen Janssen

Well, I was going to say that it might not be in the path, since
mock-helper doesn't inherit a path, but /usr/sbin is in that path and
that's usually where useradd is found.

After a failure, try running :

mock -r fedora-6-i386-core --no-clean shell

and poke around in the chroot. Is useradd actually there?

Well,

I removed mock & my modified /etc/mock config files, reinstalled mock
and now I can run mock without any problems. So it seems I probably
misconfigured mock somehow.
