When doing something with rpm that should really be done as root

it please say for example
"error: can't create transaction lock, do you need to be root", or maybe
a permission problem message instead of :
$ rpm -e kernel-2.6.5-1.358 kernel-2.6.8-1.541
error: can't create transaction lock
Doesn't this assume that ALL transaction lock problems are permissions related?
Can you assume that? Does rpm have the capability to inherently know
that its a permission problem? Can you assume that every rpm
installation in use requires root?
