I'm not sure that's ideal behaviour - it is possible to use things such as --dbpath and --root (ignoring not being able to move the transaction lock for the moment). I wouldn't expect a failed (EPERM) rm command to suggest rerunning as root, likewise for rpm.
Also theoretically we could have a "package_installer_r" with selinux to enable certain rpm install operations.
This would still require root permission. SELinux doesn't give additional rights.
