ADD_SIGNATURE
=item RPMERR_BADARG
-Not documented yet.
+This is the most common error type used within the Perl RPM bindings. It is
+used here to indicate bad or missing data in method calls.
=item RPMERR_BADDEV
-Not documented yet.
+Signaled when a file in the contents list is a bad or unknown device type.
=item RPMERR_BADFILENAME
-Not documented yet.
+This error signifies that RPM was unable to generate a filename, or that a
+filename that RPM tried to use led to an error.
=item RPMERR_BADMAGIC
-Not documented yet.
+Signaled whenever an attempt to read the lead-in of the header (the "file magic"
+information) fails. May be due either to bad data in that part, or an I/O
+failure in reading the data itself.
=item RPMERR_BADRELOCATE
-Not documented yet.
+An error with the relocation specifications in the spec file.
=item RPMERR_BADSIGTYPE
-Not documented yet.
+Signals that an older, obsoleted style of signature was detected.
=item RPMERR_BADSPEC
-Not documented yet.
+General errors in the parsing or processing of the spec file.
=item RPMERR_CHOWN
-Not documented yet.
+An error occured in using the B<chown> system call.
=item RPMERR_CPIO
-Not documented yet.
+Errors that may occur when using B<cpio> to either package or unpack the source.
=item RPMERR_CREATE
-Not documented yet.
+This is signaled when RPM cannot create a directory or file.
=item RPMERR_DBCORRUPT
-Not documented yet.
+Signaled for consistency errors found in the database.
=item RPMERR_DBGETINDEX
-Not documented yet.
+This error represents a failure to read a requested header record from the
+database.
=item RPMERR_DBOPEN
-Not documented yet.
+An error when opening some component of the database.
=item RPMERR_DBPUTINDEX
-Not documented yet.
+This error signals a failure to either store or remove a specified entry into
+(or from) the database.
=item RPMERR_EXEC
-Not documented yet.
+An error occured when executing a sub-command (such as B<pgp>).
=item RPMERR_FILECONFLICT
-Not documented yet.
+A file conflict (not otherwise caught or handled by B<rpm> itself) was detected.
=item RPMERR_FLOCK
-Not documented yet.
+A failure to obtain a lock on the database. When the RPM library opens the
+database it places an exclusive lock on it. As such, there cannot be two
+processes (or two B<RPM::Database> instances) accessing the database at one
+time.
=item RPMERR_FORK
-Not documented yet.
+An error occured when RPM tried to fork a child process.
=item RPMERR_GDBMOPEN

+if your program sees this error, you should exit as cleanly and quickly as
+possible.
=item RPMERR_LDD
-Not documented yet.

=item RPMERR_MKDIR
-Not documented yet.

+An error occured when trying to determine file system information from the
+system C<mtab> file.
=item RPMERR_NEWPACKAGE
-Not documented yet.
+An attempt was made to create a new package with a specification of an RPM
+version older (less) than 3.
=item RPMERR_NOCREATEDB

+An attempt was made to create the database when one already exists.
=item RPMERR_NOGROUP
-Not documented yet.
+A group specified for file group-ownership was not found in the list of groups
+on the system. The group C<root> will be used instead.
=item RPMERR_NORELOCATE
