Found the problem.
yum --installroot=/tmp/xxxx somecommand don't work with repos there
includes $releasever in the mirrorurl= & baseurl=, because a package
providing 'redhat-release' need to be installed in the install root so
yum can detect what version the system has.
You must be running with some locale repos & mirrorlists, if you are not
getting any error.
