mock_runner.sh broken on FC27 because of GDBM import issues

Description

Unit tests for 'mock_runner.sh' Python code have shown us that it now fails with errors while importing the 'gdbm' package.

It seems the latest 'gdbm' package in Fedora (1.14-1) was changes in a way that is incompatible with its Python bindings. The previous version (1.13-3) seems to work just fine.

A bug was reported to the Fedora project:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1533176

Patch merged. If any regressions surface due to package version in this snapshot, let's open a new ticket. Closing this one.

I think that it's enough to update the mirror config and ensure that it's indeed the correct gdbm version.
Otherwise, if you insist on a strict testing, you could send another patch to Jenkins repo that changes any python code in the Jenkins repo (this will trigger python unit tests) and base this new patch on top of the patch that changes the mirror config.

regarding 0.14-1 being present in the repos - looks like this is worked around by using epoch versions: I tried updating a slave with 0.13-3 and it got 0.13-6 instead of 0.14-1

Edited

Patch submitted to use the latest mirror snapshot that has gdbm-1.13-6.fc27

I applied a full OS update from this snapshot manually on vm0177 - need to check if this doesn't bring any other incompatible packages before merging. is there a test job I could run on this node? How would I do this? I'd also need to document this process as part of https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1860#icft=OVIRT-1860

given that 'gdbm-1.14-1.fc27.x86_64' is in our repos - won't 'dnf update' pull it, there by breaking the slave?

Fixed
