Hello Barry,
thank you for your reply and clarifying the Fedora aspects.

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.

Asking the right questions brings up to important details. While I was writing and trying to explain that the relevant test does use ""tempfile.TemporaryDirectory" as a context, I realized that "PyFakeFS" is used in the back [1].
But that makes me wonder. On a "regular" system all tests are running. So the issue might exist because of a combination of 3 factors: shutil.rmtree(), PyFakeFS in a chroot/mock build environment.
