i am trying to install a package using rpm, for which i have created a different database using rpmdb --initdb --dbpath $HOME/myrpmdb and specifying that path in the --dbpath while insatlling. The error i am getting is

root@jason:su rpm --dbpath $HOME/myrpmdb -ivh XXX.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by XXX

and /bin/sh exist Is there some way that i can specify this to the installer? Is there something i missed during the creation of different rpm database cause of which now it not able to fine the default commands?
