Tried that before posting, several times. Reinstalled mock, updated to 
latest version available in updates (the machine is running F7/x86_64 
with all available updates installed, reverted my config to the default 
one, used standard mirrors instead of a specific baseurl, nothing works. 
I am facing the same problem each time: mock build for devel/i386 and 
F-7/i386 fail. Anything else I've tried (all x86_64 builds, FC6/i386) 
works.

[root at wolfy64 ~]# rpm -q yum

[root at wolfy64 ~]# rpm -q mock
