$ mkdir container $ sudo yum -y --releasever=19 --nogpg --installroot=$(pwd)/container --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora install filesystem will create $(pwd)/container/var/run/yum.pid before installing the filesystem rpm, which would create /var/run as a symlink to /run. you might want to change yum/constants.py: - YUM_PID_FILE = '/var/run/yum.pid' + YUM_PID_FILE = '/run/yum.pid'
Note: Things in general must be *very* careful when creating anything in the empty and fresh root directory. The filesystem.rpm sets up a couple of symlinks to directories, blindly creating real directories instead of symlinks here will break setups.

Is there anything preventing patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=850861&action=diff (essentially the same as Comment #1) from being applied?
IMO it's okay.. When /var/run is a symlink (the common case), this change is a no-op. User cachedir locking is not an issue too, as we use only basename(lockfile). James, do you know of a use case this might break?
Patch isn't terrible as is (just change path to /run/yum.pid) ... it might be better to not call makedirs() in _lock, and just give up (don't create lock file, or create it in cachedir, and carry on).
