I just don't like dangling ugly. :-/

There is almost definitely a way to fix this, but maybe its not worth 
it. Like reassigning ownership after chroot is populated (but that could 
be a *lot* of files). Or perhaps adding a switch to RPM that 
deliberately assigns a specified owner:group on install, and pass that 
argument along through the mock script (better? but I thought RPM 
already had a switch like that, though I don't recall at the moment).

ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/state.log'

But you're right, it was a coincidence. I just realized that a custom 
build environment used for work is the most-used cfg, and in fact 
epel-6-x86_64 doesn't exist just now, so this was correct and has 
nothing to do with the ownership noise Mock makes.

Correcting the /etc/mock/default.cfg symlink to point at the actual 
most-used cfg file fixed me. I was blowing my own mind... (O.o)

Thanks!
