[qubes-users] qubes-builder fails rpmlock permission denied

Hi all, I try to roll my own variant of an qubes install cd and it does not work to build with system.
It is stable and should work somehow, others did also build qubes.

The machine runs FC33 on bare metal with newest updates

→ Preparing fc33 build environment
→ Initializing RPM database…
error: can’t create transaction lock on /home/build/src/qubes-builder/chroot-dom0-fc33/var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied)
make[1]: *** [/home/build/src/qubes-builder/qubes-src/builder-rpm/Makefile-legacy.rpmbuilder:37: /home/build/src/qubes-builder/chroot-dom0-fc33/home/user/.prepared_base] Error 1

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ludwig

FC33 is somewhat new, have you seen others build successfully with that version? Otherwise, double-check you aren't running make as a su/root.
