Looked <snip> API's have changed quite a bit, mainly to be less header centric and more transaction centric. A good example of how to do various things would be in the perl-RPM2 bindings in the RPM2.xs file. I think aptrpm is written in either C or C++ so it would have good examples also. Finally, if you look at the rpm source and look at the CLI code and lib/rpmInstall.c (I think that is it) there are bountifull examples in there. Finally, I have been advised by Jeff Johnson that using the CLI api's rather than going directly to librpm might be the preferable option, but he would have to speak more directly to that. Unfortunately, I don't think there is good documentation anymore on using librpm.
