Mock hangs - why

[Al Pacifico]

Sorry to post twice, but I need to correct what I just
wrote, as the problem **HAS** changed following the
kernel upgrade from kernel-smp.i686 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5
to kernel-smp.i686 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5:

This didn't make sense, in that if the problem
persisted after the kernel upgrade, the output should
be:
bash───mock───sh───runuser
or, perhaps:
bash───mock───sh───runuser───bash───runuser

since previously the debugging output suggests mock
has hung prior to or while starting rpmbuild.

Repeated, with --debug, it seems to hang at the same
place:
DEBUG: Executing /usr/sbin/mock-helper chroot
/var/lib/mock/fedora-5-i386-core/root /sbin/runuser -
root -c "cd /;/sbin/runuser -c 'rpmbuild --rebuild 
--target i386 --nodeps
/builddir/build/SRPMS/perl-DBIx-Migration-0.05-1.fc5.src.rpm'
mockbuild"

...and after seeing that, I prematurely posted that
the problem was uncorrected with a kernel update.
After typing 'u'<ENTER>, I see:

u

I modified the .spec file, adding a BuildRequire line
for the Module::Build module and a couple more, and
now the SRPM rebuilds fine under mock. Thanks to Dan
for sharing his experience and insights!

With 'mock shell', however, the previously-described
behavior persists despite the kernel upgrade.
