I think there are several possible reasons:
- You're invoking your script without sufficient privileges (usually
UID root and all privileges for normal system packages) to access
the database. As long as you're not making changes, that's
probably ok.
- The packaging database you're accessing via -R is located on a
read-only file system or has similar restrictions on it.
- Your script is run inside a packaging script, such as a
class-action script. It's not possible to invoke pkg* commands
recursively.
Do any of those apply here?
