I am trying to find what exactly is raising the error/problem

the directory where mock is building the distro...

at /var/lib/mock/fedora-32-x86_64/root

i've tried

# grep  -r "Could not connect" ./usr/*
./usr/tmp/alorax.log:2021-09-30 14:41:19,955 INFO pylorax: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

so the log file, but I thought I should find it in some python code - anaconda ?

I tried grep on the anaconda and lorax source code, nothing !

thats nutz, the message is coming from something.....

downloaded anaconda-34.24.9, lorax-33.10, ..but haven't decided yet to install from the source yet....

getting my head around how the anaconda mechanics works is very trying.....not sure i want to spend more time on it,

maybe some pointers from anyone who knows could help ?

BTW, running on Fedora 32

$ anaconda --version
anaconda 32.24.7

Thankyou
