Found it - I was initializing the rpmdb using
ts = rpm.TransactionSet('')
- I thought that would give me a blank db - but it assumes the default
path. So I really need to put something simple like:
ts = rpm.TransactionSet('./')
it doesn't try to write anything there but it needs a place to check if
it can write.
so thanks for catching this Bug.
I'll check in the changes shortly.
If all goes well I'll have some time this weekend to spend on yum.
