> Why should rpm ever want to walk a remote URI?
There are at least a couple of occasions where it does. RPM is capable of
installing packages from remote locations. It'll fetch the RPM and go through
the correct process to install the package as described by the user. I use this
all the time for installing source packages, and it can be done with binary
ones too.
