For now the above is suficient to me. Changing the installer
so that it does not asks the questions would be a better
solution, but harder to implement. By the way, the installer
I am using is just TeX. The command I put in my spec file
is

echo -e "y\ny\n" | tex listings.ins

Thanks to all who answered.
