At least on SuSE systems, running the /bin/rpm program with an OpenPKG environment can cause some ``interesting'' results (or at least it did before the OpenPKG rpm command was replaces with openpkg). I set our systems up so that the root user doesn't have any OpenPKG instances in the PATH or other enviornment until it's explicitly invoked so the normal login is in a clean vendor environment.
