rpm --root problem

[wrobell]

i am trying to install some packages in chroot using rpm

    # rpm --root /home/new-sys -qa
    gpg-pubkey-e64e7bf7-47b35206.(none)

    # rpm  --root /home/new-sys -i  --ignorearch --ignoreos  rpms/setup-2.4.11-2.i686.rpm
    warning: rpms/setup-2.4.11-2.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e4f1bc2d
    warning: package file rpms/setup-2.4.11-2.i686.rpm was skipped

    # rpm --root /home/new-sys -qa
    gpg-pubkey-e64e7bf7-47b35206.(none)

as you can see above, installation of a package was not performed.
rpm reported no error.

i am trying to install i686 arch rpms on ppc box, thus the ignore{arch,os}
options.

any hints?
