The original problem that Bug 510183 was reported about is indeed
fixed, but along with the fix came an enhancement to use separate
instances of /dev/pts in the chroots where the kernel supported it, and
this enhancement is broken. As mentioned in Comment 10 of the bug,
commenting out two lines mock/backend.py to disable the enhancement
should be sufficient to get these packages building again.
