I've never installed from the RPM, but I would guess that it cannot open
the package because the permissions deny it? I'm not sure what
packages.rpm is, but it is obviously not part of minivend. I wonder about
the double slashes in front, as well.. but that shouldn't cause it to fail.
You could install everything as root, and then chown the files to minivend.

At least on my Linux machine, cd ////var//lib////rpm/ works to
/var/lib/rpm/ -- so that's not an issue.
