Wrong option... that is for moving some files that the package specifies as
"relocatable" inside the same root. The right option is "--root":
--root DIRECTORY
Use the file system tree rooted at DIRECTORY for all operations.
Note that this means the data-
base within DIRECTORY will be used for dependency checks and any
scriptlet(s) (e.g. %post if
installing, or %prep if building, a package) will be run after a
chroot(2) to DIRECTORY.
