Actually, I should have been more verbose. When I try to use mock on
rawhide now, I get these type of errors:

DEBUG: Error unpacking rpm package

I removed all my cache, but this still happens (rpm*-4.6.0-9.fc11 is
being downloaded by mock). I'm not sure how this is related to what is
being discussed though.
