PSA: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink: No such file or directory [and how to solve it]

[Miro Hrončok]

If you see the following error in a Rawhide mock build:

...
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFxggi: line 65: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink: No 
such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFxggi (%install)

Update your mock chroot from the "local" repository:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --enablerepo=local --update

And don't clean it before running the build.

If you see the error in Koji, please let me know ASAP.

I've mixed my WIP fix with the roginal error. The error you are likely to see 
is actually:

/usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-hardlink: No such file or directory
