Actually, I was trying to solve this and I got it to work by<br>
moving the transaction lock out of the way, performing the secondary<br>
rpm operation, and then moving the rpm lock back into place.<br>

<br>
this falls into the category of extraordinarily bad ideas. Seriously,<br>
don't encourage others to break the transaction lock.<br>

If RPM supported it natively I wouldn't have to. But I'm distributing<br>
third-party software that's in multiple RPMs but I want my users to<br>
only have to manually download a single file. I have limited options.<br>
My choices are:<br>
<br>
1) a shar-like self-extracting archive that contains and installs the<br>
necessary RPMS, or<br>
2) an RPM that contains and installs additional RPMs.<br>
<br>
Saying "use yum" just doesn't solve the problem I'm trying to solve.<br>
But between these choices I prefer options 2.<div class="im"><br>
