Package: mock
Version: 1.1.33-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Installing mock from scratch does not create the mock group, which seems to be
required when calling mock even with sudo.

Running as root without mock in /etc/group yields:

ERROR: 'getgrnam(): name not found: mock'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 305, in <module>
    def do_buildsrpm(config_opts, chroot, options, args):
  File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 384, in main
    mockgid = grp.getgrnam('mock').gr_gid
KeyError: 'getgrnam(): name not found: mock'

Running as non-root user yields:

The password you typed is invalid.
Please try again.

until both the group is created and the non-root user is added to the mock
group.

The default directories /var/cache/mock and /var/lib/mock should probably also
be created in the postinst script and made writable by the mock group,
otherwise:

ERROR: Could not create dir /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result. Error: [Errno

ERROR:

Try using the --resultdir= option to select another location. Recommended
location is --resultdir=~/mock/.
