Hey Jeff,

I get this exact same warning when using rpm with my autorollback patch.
I think your explanation explains why.  What might I do to get the message 
to go away?  Just as a brief re-cap of what the patch does, it builds a
rollback transaction as it is running a transaction.  Each time something
sucessfully installs/erases that package (or header) gets added to the 
rollback transaction.  If I have no failures I discard the rollback
transaction, if something fails I run it.  Anyway, so I have two 
transactions instatiated at the same time in librpm, and I suspect from 
what you said this is where the funny little warnings are coming from.
So again, what might I do (or what code might I read (-;) to aleviate 
these little warning messages?
