When using --installroot everything is done within the chroot, so yum can't find out what $releasever maps to (it normally does this by reading /var/lib/rpm). There are two workarounds: Pass: --releasever=6 Pass: --releasever=/ ...the later tells yum to lookup this value from the /var/lib/rpm outside the chroot. |
