  None of those would help, imagine this scenario, you have the
 kernel-source.rpm in server, then you try to install it, but /usr/src is
 mounted in server:/usr/src. If you kick rpm from the client, you will
 have the files moving all over the place.

 This is an example, obviously if both machines are running linux you
 could go around it, by installing localy, but not all can be done in that
 way.

 I don't want a work-around, this issue is old, so I suppose somebody has
 managed to fix it.
