With the following change to runTransaction in __init__.py:
import sys
print >> sys.stderr, "Before"
errors = self.ts.run(cb.callback, '')
print >> sys.stderr, "After",errors
This is what I get from an strace:
write(2, "Before", 6) = 6
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
futex(0x81ee458, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
umask(022) = 022
open("/var/lib/rpm/__db.000", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = -1 EACCES (Per
mission denied)
umask(022) = 022
open("/var/lib/rpm/__db.000", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 18
write(17, "error: can\'t create transaction "..., 62) = 62
close(18) = 0
write(2, "After", 5) = 5
write(2, " ", 1) = 1
write(2, "[", 1) = 1
write(2, "]", 1) = 1
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
All very reasonable, except for the fact that no errors are returned. To me it
looks like rpmUtils is to blame.
