Yeah, I can reach the files in the koji repo that way.  So I don't
think that it's a network problem on my end (though I couldn't rule
out something odd happening inside mock).  I tried bumping the timeout
value in the yum.conf for the mock chroot and that didn't resolve the
problem either (with up to a 3 minute timeout).

Disabling the local (koji) repo in the mock config allowed me to build
the things I wanted to build in mock.  I'm happy to turn on any debug
level you think might show what's wrong and try again.  I tried over
the course of a day numerous times and never was able to get a chroot
to successfully pass the prep stage as long as the local koji repo was
enabled.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an
exception.
