Description Christopher Tubbs 2015-11-02 05:45:59 UTC

Description of problem:
ran `rpmconf -a` after updating mock with normal dnf upgrade and got a python stack trace because /etc/mock/default.cfg and /etc/mock/default.cfg.rpmnew were both symlinks

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpmconf-1.0.12-1.fc22.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf upgrade mock to mock-1.2.13-2.fc22.noarch from previous version.
2. rpmconf -a

Actual results:
Stack trace with error message about /etc/mock/default.cfg not existing. Program terminated abnormally.

Expected results:
Program should prompt to address /etc/mock/default.cfg and /etc/mock/default.cfg.rpmnew
