Yes,

now the problem is that this program:

#!/usr/bin/python

import yum, os, sys

my = yum.YumBase()
my.conf.basecachedir = '/tmp/whereever'
if not os.path.exists(my.conf.basecachedir):
    os.makedirs(my.conf.basecachedir)
my.conf.cache = 0
my.repos.setCacheDir(my.conf.basecachedir)

my.install(name='xpdf')
my.install(name='xwnc')
my.resolveDeps()
my.processTransaction()

when run as root correctly installs xpdf and xwnc, but when run as an ordinary
user just quitely does nothing. How do I check if installation is successful?

Best regards
