Thanks you for the bug report. At the moment we are not planning to support relocatable packages. Per Fedora guidelines, The use of RPM's facility for generating relocatable packages is strongly discouraged. It is difficult to make work properly, impossible to use from the installer or from yum, and not generally necessary if other packaging guidelines are followed. If user wants to test rpms, they should use chroot technology such as mock or similar. Thanks, Bala

Bug #104036 marked as duplicate of this one
Description: I wonder why MySQL RPMs still do not support --prefix option: [root@chief openxs]# rpm -i --prefix /tmp/usr MySQL-server-5.6.15-1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64.rpm error: package MySQL-server is not relocatable It could help a lot while testing different versions and upgrades. How to repeat: Try to install any MySQL RPM to some non-default location, entirely or partially: [root@chief openxs]# rpm -i --relocate /usr=/tmp/usr MySQL-server-5.6.15-1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64.rpm path /usr in package MySQL-server-5.6.15-1.linux_glibc2.5.x86_64 is not relocatable No way? Suggested fix: Make MySQL RPMs relocatable.
