[Freeipa-devel] import rpm causes failure during IPA caless install

[Martin Basti]

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.
