I did look under rpmtsCreate and it does not actually set the vsflags, but I know other places in the code (and defintately not always), things like this will be initialized to a default if they have not been set. When I get a moment I try to create a simple c file that runs a transaction and see (no pun intended) if what happens when I omit this. > 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.

I don't think there was a simple upgrade, install, erase type example. If you have one Panu, I'll be happy to put it into the HEAD. One of these days I am going to get back to rollback stuff, but till then I can be of service in small ways like that.
