I take you don't like my patch :-)

It breaks its testsuite:
http://rpm4.zarb.org/svn/trunk/RPM4/t/05transaction.t

It runs various tests on the same ts object then calls empty (rpmtsEmpty)
then run rpmtsOrder() again:

ok(!defined($ts->transreset), "Reseting current transaction");

#ok($ts->transremove($roffset), "Removing pkg from header and offset");
ok($ts->transorder == 0, "Run transaction order");
