Oh!

/me picks jaw up off the floor laughing.  Yeah, that's all fixed.

First off, those warnings are just noise.  It's because /proc was not
mounted in the chrooted space.  It has the purpose of reading alternate
archs as in i686 under x86_64 for newer versions of rpm.  That's
harmless but I've FIXED that noise anyways in the new one.

The "Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository:" is something even
more amusing I ran into and I don't really understand why it wasn't
showing up more but...  It's because a "yum update" is being done
chrooted into the cache but /etc/resolv.conf had never been initialized
from the host.

Consequently, from both of those (and a couple of others), I've been
mounting proc, copying /etc/resolv.conf, and bind mounting /dev into the
chrooted namespaces to avoid a lot of problems.  Life seems to have
gotten more complicated from when this was originally written.  :-P

Regards,
Mike
