hi all
i have a problem to solve:
i have to use yum in simple user because we have to use it in grid.
now i have my yum.conf and yum repo in local user folder, in the yum.conf i inserted new command:
installroot for new rpmdb path
errorlevel and debuglevel for major information
reposdir for take repo in local folder

i'll run command:
yum localinstall my package -c /home/casual/yum.conf and return only this:

COMMAND: yum localinstall my package -c /home/casual/yum.conf

installroot: /home/casual/test-dir
Ext-Command:

My package

You need to be root to perform this command

i tried to do lsof, but no file open
i tried to do strace yum localinstall my package -c /home/casual/yum.conf
i used grep for select only open and remove all "No such file or directory"
i expect some permission denied, but, no permission denied, no error or warning ar present in this file, i have only open on python libraries: /usr/lib/python and all access is in readonly mode
and /usr/share/yum-cli all access in readonly mode

anyone have any idea for help me?
thx at all

what Operating System are you using ??
that would help .
if fedora see:

sorry, forgot enviroment :P

i work on scientific linux 5.2

you will still need to be root to install rpm's
you could rebuild them to install in /home/username

rut you will need to be root to do that

i don't understand why i have to rebuild rpm...
the command insallroot create new rpmdb, and for do this i don't need root privilege.
in alternative i can use the command initdb of rpm for create new rpmdb and dbpath for locate it.

i can rebuild rpm, but, i don't understand why in strace haven't permission denied or error
