Bug 59851

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
I have created a small C++ exe using the RPM API rpmInstallSourcePackage().  
However, when running the program it seg faults on rpmInstallSourcePackage(). 
It is seg. faulting on the function rpmInstallSourcePackage() in Fileno() 
from /usr/lib/librpmio. The debugger shows me that before it seg faults, the 
program will trace through the lib's rpmInstallSourcePackage(), queryArgCallback
(), rpmInstallSourcePackage(), rpmreadPackageHeader(),readPackageHeaders() and 
finally choke on some Fileno().

my usage of the function is as follows 
... 
rpmInstallSourcePackage(rootDir, fd, specFilePtr,0,0,0) 
where rootDir is a const char * = "to/some/path" 
where fd = Fopen(argv[1]) 
where specFilePtr is a const char **="to/some/path" 
and I substitute null for the rest. 

My program is very simple and only calls two functions from the API.  The Fopen 
and rpmInstallSourcePackage().

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run the program e.g.- # ./instllpkg /development/RPMS/i386/somepkg.rpm
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Segmentation fault in the function call in Fileno() 
from /usr/lib/librpmio 4.0.3.so

Expected Results:  The program should execute without segmentation faults, 
install package as specified and write output that it has installed package.

Additional info:

I'm not sure that this is a bug of rpm. Given my lack of knowledge to the rpm 
API I could be giving it bad params or giving it null when it is expecting a 
param.
