gpg-agent uses /sysroot/dev/null and thus /sysroot/dev can't be

NACK to this patch, as it just sweeps the issue under the carpet.
Basically, this is triggered by the following:
$ virt-builder fedora-22 --install <whatever>
gnupg2 (used to import keys the first time when installing packages
from a repository) requires the use of an agent, thus spawning
gnupg-agent which holds /sysroot/dev, which cannot be unmounted.
It seems that this issue has been fixed in recent versions of
gnupg2/rpm/dnf, so updating before installing anything:
$ virt-builder fedora-22 --update --install <whatever>
which should then work (at least it does for me).
Rich, if this fixes the problem for you as well, would it be possible
to update the fedora-22 templates with newer versions of packages?
Thanks,
