wwmkchroot yum errors

[gmkurtzer]

First chroot I'm trying to build on the development branch, and having some issues. Not sure what is going on, I'll dig later, but in the mean time, putting it here to see if anyone else has seen this or knows what's going on.

Jeremy was the last one to touch it. ;-)

I have the same error building on a Fedora 26 system (don't ask). I found that is was $basearch not being filled before the YUM_MIRROR path was sent to dnf that caused the error. Explicitly providing the full url to the mirror (e.g. replacing $basearch with x86_64) solves the problem for me.
