I’m trying to do the equivalent of “yum --installroot=$rootpath

loopback mounted copy of Fedora-Server-DVD-aarch64-21.iso on an x86_64
system.
The problem is that yum doesn’t seem to have an –ignorearch option.
How do I work around this?
In short you can't. When installing yum needs to be able to run
pre/post install rpm scripts which run the binaries that have just
been installed so it won't work. You could do it with qemu emulation
of aarch64 on x86.
