I am a Fedora packager and can help explain what is the tools are doing.

Mock runs the build in a chroot env that allows for reproducible clean room b=

Sort like a container.

This is nothing to do with the python mock package.

What do you mean by the real file sustem?

You cannot write to the /usr file system. Is that what your tests do?
If so that needs changing.
