As of mock 1.3.4 you need to use ``--old-chroot`` with mock. Mock now defaults to using systemd-nspawn
which cannot create the needed loop device nodes. Passing ``--old-chroot`` will use the old system
where ``/dev/loop*`` is setup for you.
As of mock version 2.0 you no longer need to pass ``--old-chroot``. You will,
however, need to pass ``--enable-network`` so that the mock container can download
packages.
