Yes, don't install RPMs from inside an RPM transaction.

You should never call out to RPM inside a spec file. If you need to
install multiple packages, just pass all of them to RPM at once:

rpm -ivh foo.rpm bar.rpm baz.rpm

If you need to ensure that a specific package installs first in the
transaction, say, "foo", you can put:

Requires(pre): foo

in the other packages. This will cause rpm to put it above them in the
ordering.
