On Zuul and jenkins both, we get:

Failed to register machine: The name is not activatable

When we try to use mock on rawhide. See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-packaging/pull-request/17

Not sure what's changed.

Which version of dbus-broker runs on the CI machines? We were told that this might be caused because of dbus-broker<27-2. We updated our CI images to dbus-broker-27-2 and so far this issue hasn't appeared again. We are not sure though because it was triggered randomly before.

https://fedora.softwarefactory-project.io/zuul/build/dee648fc91d14454b0747899bf24339b/log/artifacts/installed-packages.list

dbus-broker.x86_64 27-2.fc35

The issue appeared once again for us with dbus-broker-27-2.fc34. So the issue is apparently still present.

I haven't seen this in many months.
