I have already found that out, the problem is that my.processTransaction() silently refuses to install. #!/usr/bin/python import yum, os, sys # setup base objects my = yum.YumBase() # someplace you can write to as your user my.conf.basecachedir = '/tmp/whereever' if not os.path.exists(my.conf.basecachedir): os.makedirs(my.conf.basecachedir) my.conf.cache = 0 my.repos.setCacheDir(my.conf.basecachedir) class cb(object): def event(self, state, *data): try: print state,yum.callbacks.PT_MESSAGES[state],data except: print state,data my.install(name='xpdf') my.install(name='xwnc') my.resolveDeps() for m in my.tsInfo.getMembers(): print m.name my.processTransaction(callback=cb()) This is the output when it s run as a user: xpdf xwnc 10 Downloading Packages () 11 11 ([<yum.sqlitesack.YumAvailablePackageSqlite object at 0x956744c>, <yum.sqlitesack.YumAvailablePackageSqlite object at 0xc525bac>],) 20 Check Package Signatures () 30 Running Test Transaction () Running rpm_check_debug 40 Running Transaction () And this is what I get as root: xpdf xwnc 10 Downloading Packages () 11 11 ([<yum.sqlitesack.YumAvailablePackageSqlite object at 0x95e828c>, <yum.sqlitesack.YumAvailablePackageSqlite object at 0xc52632c>],) 20 Check Package Signatures () 30 Running Test Transaction () Running rpm_check_debug 40 Running Transaction () Installing: xwnc - 0.3.3-3.fc7.i386 65664/997380 [1/2] ...
