Comment 1 Andrew Overholt 2009-03-03 19:55:22 UTC 
I'm seeing this as well.  Is there a workaround?
Comment 2 Andrew Overholt 2009-03-05 15:52:52 UTC 
I was having the issue due to the fact that I was stupidly running mock as root.  Running as a regular user (in the mock group, of course) works fine.  I also rm -rf'd the __db* files in my chroot just to be safe.
Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2009-03-18 13:29:25 UTC 
Warren, are you running mock as root (see comment #2)?

Mock should probably be hacked to use private locking to avoid these but that's another story...
Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 11:39:18 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 5 Panu Matilainen 2009-07-14 09:01:17 UTC 
Running mock as a regular user works for me... Related to bugs 455836, 507309 and a pile of others through various interactions with Berkeley DB.
Comment 6 Pierre Ossman 2009-08-12 08:50:36 UTC 
In the interest of getting this working, can't you add this to Root::build():

            # nuke any rpmdb tmp files
            for tmp in glob.glob(self.makeChrootPath('var/lib/rpm/__db*')):
                os.unlink(tmp)

or something similar?
Comment 7 Pierre Ossman 2009-09-10 08:50:40 UTC 
Ping!

It seems I cannot reopen the bug to make sure it doesn't get overlooked. :/
Comment 8 Panu Matilainen 2009-10-26 07:43:40 UTC 
This shouldn't be an issue starting with rpm >= 4.7.1-3 (available to F11 and newer) as rpm removes the environment on chrooted operations. If you want something fixed in mock, open a bug against mock, not rpm.
