[Yum] yum --installroot error

[Mark Huth]

Hi, 
I not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is a bug, but
when I run yum with installroot I get this error:

yum --installroot=/mnt/devel check-update
Config Error: Insufficient repository configuration. No
repositories Found/Enabled. Aborting.

When I run it using strace I saw the following output:

stat64("/mnt/devel/mnt/devel/etc/yum.repos.d", 0xbfffe950) =
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "Config Error: Insufficient repository configuration.
No repositories Found/Enabled. Aborting.\n", 94) = 94

When I put this link in: /mnt/devel/mnt/devel -> /mnt/devel I
didn't get the error, but I'm sure this shouldn't be the way
to get this to work.  A bug?

Regards,
Mark
