Yum install in chroot directory
- by pulegium
I'm trying to install the Base group on a mounted volume.
Here's the custom yum.conf that I'm using:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exclude=*-debuginfo
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
reposdir=/dev/null
[base]
name=Fedora 13 - i386
baseurl=file:///media/Fedora\ 13\ i386\ DVD/
enabled=1
[updates]
name=Fedora 13 - i386 - Updates
baseurl=http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/fedora/linux/updates/13/i386/
enabled=1
When I run
# yum -c yum.conf --installroot=/mnt groupinstall Base
I would expect yum to install everything under /mnt
But it keeps on saying:
[...]
Package irda-utils-0.9.18-10.fc12.i686 already installed and latest version
Package time-1.7-37.fc12.i686 already installed and latest version
Package man-pages-3.23-6.fc13.noarch already installed and latest version
Package talk-0.17-33.2.4.i686 already installed and latest version
Package pam_passwdqc-1.0.5-6.fc13.i686 already installed and latest version
[...]
I tried
rpm --base=/mnt --initdb
and then use rpm to install fedora-release (which worked and installed the package under /mnt)
But yum keeps on saying that all packages are installed.
Any ideas?...
