Description Frank Büttner 2021-11-25 07:16:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using it under CentOS7 it will fail. Doing the same on Fedora 33 will work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mock-2.14-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call "mock -r centos-stream-8-x86_64 --init"

Actual results:

ERROR: Command failed: 
 # /usr/bin/yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/centos-stream-8-x86_64-bootstrap/root/ --releasever 8 install dnf dnf-plugins-core --setopt=tsflags=nocontexts
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C


 One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
 and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
 safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

     1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

     2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
        upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
        distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
        packages for the previous distribution release still work).

     3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
            yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...

     4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
        will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
        again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

            yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
       or
            subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>

     5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
        Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
        so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
        slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
        compromise:

            yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: appstream/x86_64


Expected results:
That it will work like on Fedora 33

Comment 1 Miroslav Suchý 2021-11-25 08:42:31 UTC 
I can reproduce.
Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2021-11-25 09:01:10 UTC 
Hmm, 
when I replace
  mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$stream&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS&infra=$infra
in config with
  mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS&infra=$infra

i.e. expand the $stream variable, it starts working.
Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2021-11-25 09:16:41 UTC 
Centos Stream 9 does not have this problem as it does not use $stream

When I replace $stream with $releasever, it will work. Will do a PR.
Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2021-11-25 09:20:28 UTC 
The culprit is in

config_opts['dnf_vars'] = { 'stream': '8-stream',                                                                                                                                            
                            'contentdir': 'centos',
                          }

This creates dnf variables, but not yum variables.

Why /usr/bin/yum?

Ah, we are on EL7.

(In reply to Miroslav Suchý from comment #7)

This doesn't fix the real issue; mock should be configuring extended variables for yum just like it does for dnf. It is actually straightforward:

Comment 16 Pavel Raiskup 2022-01-03 08:01:58 UTC 
Thanks for the update, but the request for using YUM variables is an orthogonal thing.

This bug is about real life build failures, and the updated mock + mock-core-configs (currently
stuck in Bodhi) fixes this.

Comment 18 Frank Büttner 2022-01-18 06:36:21 UTC 
For me mock-2.16-1.el7 and mock-core-configs-36.4-1.el7 , will work again on CentOS7.
