Description of problem: Yum will not properly update with --installroot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.5 How reproducible: mount newly installed system on other media and update from installed system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F7 on new media 2. Boot up existing F7 installation 4. mount new installation root 3. run yum --installroot=/mountpoint Actual results: Yum cannot perform it's post-install scripts and errors out with messages like: error: %post(libsmbclient-3.0.28-0.fc7.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 could not open ts_done file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/maxtor/var/lib/yum/transaction-done.2008-01-05.14:46.18' Expected results: Additional info:

(sorry) Additional: the file that yum is complaining of is /maxtor/var/lib/yum/transaction-done.2008-01-05.14:46.18 The actual file is created as /maxtor/maxtor/var/lib/yum/transaction-done.2008-01-05.14:46.18
3.2.5 is out of date. Please update to 3.2.8-2.fc7 and try it again. Thank you!
