Actually, I was trying to solve this and I got it to work by
moving the transaction lock out of the way, performing the secondary
rpm operation, and then moving the rpm lock back into place.
this falls into the category of extraordinarily bad ideas. Seriously,
don't encourage others to break the transaction lock.
third-party software that's in multiple RPMs but I want my users to
only have to manually download a single file. I have limited options.
My choices are:
1) a shar-like self-extracting archive that contains and installs the
necessary RPMS, or
2) an RPM that contains and installs additional RPMs.
Saying "use yum" just doesn't solve the problem I'm trying to solve.
But between these choices I prefer options 2.
