Comment 24 Matyas Selmeci 2012-11-26 23:54:15 UTC 
This seems to have gotten unfixed in 1.0.36. I am getting the same symptom as the OP installing from EPEL 5.
Comment 25 Dean T. Hu 2012-11-27 08:04:31 UTC 
Tried to build a package using mock-1.0.36 and got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 66, in ?
    import mockbuild.backend
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mockbuild/backend.py", line 237
    finally:
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Comment 26 Clark Williams 2012-11-28 16:06:37 UTC 
Yes, when I was merging some fixes from the mock-1.1 branch I let the unshare bug creep in as well as some python2.6+ syntax. 

mock-1.0.37 will be on testing shortly and should fix this problem.
