Additional info:
This seems to be Python3 incompatibility introduced by bug 1171737. I can use --old-chroot as a workaround.

Comment 1 Miroslav Suchý 2015-09-29 08:33:42 UTC
I can confirm. This does not happen on F22, it hapen only on F23+ where mock use python3

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2015-10-05 07:53:01 UTC
Fixed in commit:
* 789274c (origin/devel) decode shell output when running under Python3 [RHBZ#1267161]

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2015-10-12 13:04:50 UTC
This happens on F22 with mock-1.2.13-2.fc22. Downgrading to mock-1.2.8-1.fc22 makes it work again. How did that end up in stable updates?

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2015-11-17 10:03:46 UTC
Still reproducible on F23:
mock-1.2.13-2.fc23.noarch

I don't see any new updates for mock.
