rpmctl does 

1) depend on mkcd library

2) too much things ( 1200 lines of perl )

3) cannot be reused as we do not know what is running on raoh 

4) planned to be rewritten ( ask to ennael )

5) is not ldap aware

6) still say Mandrakelinux :)
 @params = (
[ "", "rpmctl", 0, "[options]",
    "Mandrakelinux rpm control tool",

I would rather a saner tool, really.
