This is weird.  There is no indication that yum exited with any errors, 
yet the build stops.  At first I thought the following:

ls: readlink:: No such file or directory
ls: file: No such file or directory
ls: expected: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/dev/md1': No such file or directory

were relevant, but you find them in logs of successful builds.

The problem seems to have occurred between

Mon Feb 20 05:06:54 2006 (when the last FC4 job succeeded (4939: 
dap-server-3.5.3-1.fc4)
Mon Feb 20 08:29:27 2006 (when this job failed)

At this point I think it points to the build systems.  I can't reproduce 
in mock locally.


It might be boa though:

warning: user apache does not exist - using root
warning: group apache does not exist - using root

is new.

boa is not installed when I run mock locally.  why?
