Re: rpmInstall error: no dbpath has been set

[Mathieu Dube <mdube 8D com>]

Thanks,
	what is the behavior of rpmInstall exactly
thats how I call it:
rpmInstall("",(const char**)arg,RPMTRANS_FLAG_TEST,INSTALL_PERCENT,
                        RPMPROB_FILTER_NONE,NULL);

arg being on package path and arg[1] is NULL

it only output

%%0.000000

and doesnt seem to install

am I supposed to call it more than once?
