Yes. I don't know why the mock build works fine for earlier Fedora 
chroot's either - though I have noticed all streams are buffered and not 
connected direct to the terminal (i.e. have to wait until build 
generates many lines of output before any are seen at the terminal).

On closer investigation, this might be a GPG thing. The rpm build 
process decrypts something via GPG and a passphrase...

I'll keep looking, but any ideas would be gratefully received.
