rpm-2.5.x *requires* .../usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc to be present. This has been fixed in rpm-3.0.x by permitting --rcfile to permit colon separated paths only the 1st of which is required to exist. If you wish to change this behavior in rpm-2.5.x, look at lib/rpmrc.c: it's a pretty easy hack to implement the rpm-3.0.x behavior (read: add --rcfile /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc w/o chroot). Alternatively: mkdir -p <your_root_here>/usr/local/lib/rpm cp /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc <your_root_here>/usr/local/lib/rpm/rpmrc before running "rpm -r <your_root_here> ..." |
