I have come to understand that for yum, commands like clean only applies to the actual buildroot. So without a -r argument, the cleaning is done on the default root, whatever this might be(?).
Actually, there is probably nothing wrong with this - it works fine when using the -r option. Problems comes without it, when one thinks it applies to all buildroots. It would perhaps make sense outputting something like "Using buildroot foo" when there is no -r on the command line(?).On Sun, Jan 12, 2014 at 10:47 PM, Reindl Harald <h.reindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

looking at the word "all" and it's meaing clearly *no*
looking at the thread and result of the behavior clearely *no*
looking at that people use "updates-testing" with --enablerepo *no*
looking at the fact that i do not trust the word "all" clearly *no*
and that is why i switched 7 years ago to "rm -rf /var/cache/yum*"
