I have come across some strange behavior with yum under RHEL 7. The simplest test case I have created is as follows (in reality I was doing something more complex with a yum install):
yum list bash Vs yum --installroot=/tmp list bash The former works fine. The latter: https://cdn.redhat.com/content/eus/rhel/system-z/7/%24releasever/s390x/os/r epodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found Trying other mirror. It is as if the $releasever has not been expanded. Software levels: yum-rhn-plugin-2.0.1-5.el7.noarch yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-10.el7.s390x yum-3.4.3-125.el7.noarch yum-utils-1.1.31-29.el7.noarchrpm-libs-4.11.1-25.el7.s390x rpm-4.11.1-25.el7.s390x rpm-build-4.11.1-25.el7.s390x rpm-python-4.11.1-25.el7.s390x rpm-build-libs-4.11.1-25.el7.s390x Anyone seen anything like this before?
