Hi Johan,

It looks like a permissions issue with either your default umask or your
sudo setup.

Can you run:
sudo /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm -ql distcc

If this list the expected files, then the packages are installed, but
not accessible to your normal user.  If this is the case you need to
figure out why your user account can't access these files.  it may be as
simple as changing permissions (and also figuring out what happened).
To investigate this run:

 /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm --eval %_dbpath

This should show: /opt/ltib/var/lib/rpm

If it does, check the permissions of the files in this directory (and
parents) are readable by your normal user account.  I see:
ls -l /opt/ltib/var/lib/rpm
total 8196
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  790528 2012-02-26 15:47 Basenames
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   12288 2010-12-01 18:14 Conflictname

If sudo /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm -ql distcc does not list any file, the the
package never really got installed and you'll need to do some more digging.
