strace on yum


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

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
