(e.g. "yum >repolist") Just to clarify, this problem only manifests with the '--installroot' option applied to yum. Under normal package management operations everything works fine. I am wondering how yum derives the URLs from the system config variables. There appears to be a simple issue of URL encoding of the string '$slreleasesver' rather than its assigned value. How does yum generate those URLs, for the path to the online distribution files, with the '--installroot' flag enacted? Yum finds the current distribution just fine. Here is the output of the output of 'yum repolist': [/]# yum repolist Loaded plugins: langpacks repo id repo name status epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 13,517 google-chrome google-chrome 3 repos/x86_64 Scientific Linux repos - x86_64 22 sl/x86_64 Scientific Linux 7x - x86_64 10,189 sl-extras/x86_64 Scientific Linux Extras - x86_64 1,343 sl-fastbugs/x86_64 Scientific Linux 7x - x86_64 - bugfix updates 748 sl-security/x86_64 Scientific Linux 7x - x86_64 - security updates 410 repolist: 26,232 [/]# Peter _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
