Expected Results:

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-17 00:41:47 UTC

No /etc/popt is still working, but you need to either
	1) execute rpmquery directly
	2) write a helper binary exec as in
		rpm exec -C rpmq --changelog
as /usr/lib/rpm/rpmq is what's executed with, say, "rpm -q --changelog".

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-17 00:54:07 UTC

BTW, this was checked with rpm-4.0.3-0.72.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2001-07-17 01:20:55 UTC

Woops, found the problem. Fix in rpm-4.0.3-0.72, apologies for the misinfo.
