[Yum] Problematic 'yum' repository paths using --installroot option

[Peter Willis]

> What's your "baseurl" value in the respective repo config?

Hello,

Thanks for your input.

There is no '[repository]'   entry in    /etc/yum.conf .
The various system settings are distributed among:

/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/<various>
/etc/yum.repos.d/<various>
/var/lib/yum/<various> 



A catalog of  '/etc/yum.repos.d/repos.reo'  shows the following:
   

/etc/yum.repos.d # cat repos.repo
