[Fedora-packaging] Problem initializing mock environment

[Jason Kusar]

I'm trying to get mock set up on EPEL6, however it fails just trying to
init the chroot.  I've not made any changes to the default configs.

I search the forums and quite a few pages deep into Google and couldn't
find any reference to this issue.

Debug output paste: http://pastebin.com/kfb2caZq

> From what I can tell, the RPM database isn't getting initialized,

can't find any reason why that might be.  The same thing happens if I try
to generate an epel-5-x86_64 chroot.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
