Package: mock
Version: 1.3.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The mock package ships two commands:
* mock
* mockchain
The mockchain command is not working because it tries to call
/usr/bin/createrepo_c which is not available in any Debian package.
(line 59 and 61 of /usr/bin/mockchain)

Test I've done:
Replacing /usr/bin/createrepo_c by /usr/bin/createrepo (python implementation)
seems to
work fine, I've been enable to build rpms, including rpms depending on
other rpms present in the local repo.

I see two possibilities:
* packaging createrepo_c
(https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c) in Debian.
I've done a quick test, it builds ok and all the necessary dependencies are
already available.
* patching mockchain to use createrepo.
In both cases, I think the corresponding createrepo(_c) package should
be added as a dependency of the mock package.
