Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2015-11-16 07:51:57 UTC 
Rpmconf must be run under root user.
I should probably put check on top of the script.
Comment 4 Timothy Ward 2015-11-19 06:34:47 UTC 
The program is only run infrequently so the check to run under root IMO is worthwhile addition.
Comment 5 Miroslav Suchý 2015-11-22 13:23:41 UTC 
Fixed in commit:
* c7040d0 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) 1282029 - check for root privileges

Note: It is just warning as some features (like diff) can be still usefull without root.
