Description Need Real Name 2001-10-24 01:14:18 UTC 
Description of Problem:

When I install a relocatable package:

$ rpm -qpl log-triggers-4.0.6_2855-1.noarch.rpm 
/opt/foo/store/trigger
/opt/foo/store/trigger/AlertTrigger.py
/opt/foo/store/trigger/CritTrigger.py
/opt/foo/store/trigger/EmergeTrigger.py

with

# rpm -i --prefix=/var/tmp/foo log-triggers-4.0.6_2855-1.noarch.rpm 

I get:

$ rpm -ql log-triggers
/var/tmpfoo
/var/tmp/foo/AlertTrigger.py
/var/tmp/foo/CritTrigger.py
/var/tmp/foo/EmergeTrigger.py

I think the first one (/var/tmpfoo) is broken.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.0, 4.0.2

How Reproducible:

Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

/var/tmpfoo

Expected Results:

/var/tmp/foo
