Hello all,

fix for ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5535
requires to import rpm module

This import somehow breaks nsslib in IPA
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5572


We have 2 ways how to fix it:

1) move import rpm to body of methods (attached patch)
We are not sure how stable is this solution.

2) use solution with rpmdevtools proposed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2016-January/msg00092.html
This should be rock stable but it needs many dependencies (rpm-python
too, perl)

The second way looks safer, so I would like to reimplement it, do you
all agree
or do you have better idea?
Feedback welcome, please ASAP.

Since it's Friday, I invested 15 minutes to practice my C skills and
use the
python-cffi library to call rpm rpmvercmp library call directly
(attached):

$ python rpm.py 4.2.0-15.el7 4.2.0-15.el7_2.3
4.2.0-15.el7 < 4.2.0-15.el7_2.3

This would not introduce any additional dependency besides rpm-devel,
right? :-)

Not rpm-devel, but rpm-libs (you should dlopen "librpm.so.3").

I'm afraid that this can cause the same issue as import rpm, because the
nsslib is used from C library

I would be surprised if NSS was used in this particular function.

I will try it
