It should be rpmtsSetRootDir(), not rpmtsRoot() which is for *getting* the current root :) Also setting rpmtsSetVSFlags() isn't mandatory for the transaction to succeed, if not called the defaults will be used. IIRC that is. Hmm.. would be nice if we had some *tiny* examples of using rpmlib from C, along the lines what's in Paul's excellent rpm-python slides. Sure the information can be dug out from rpm's or apt-rpm's sources but neither are the easiest reading there is in the OSS world :) I'll try to come up with something one of these days unless of course somebody beats me to it. - Panu - _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
