Package: yum-utils
Version: 1.1.31-4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I was working with some Docker bb scripts that required 
repoquery for some tasks including the use of installroot. 

I see that the yum-utils is from http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumUtils.html
and that https://github.com/rpm-software-management/yum-utils
seems to have some newer developments.

The installroot flag is implemented here:

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/yum-utils/blob/master/repoquery.py#L1393

If there are more complex reasons to why not this upstream is tracked
it would be great to get feedback to why it is not considered. 

I do understand that a RPM based distribution is the better host
to build RPM based images, but it would be nice to be able to do 
it under Debian as well.
