Description R P Herrold 2000-06-19 00:46:44 UTC 
rpm -qf on a directory with the trailing / returns an error.

This is wrong behavior but not crippling:

[root@localhost mail]# rpm -qf /var/spool/mail/
*** db3 dbcursor->c_get rc -1 Invalid argument
error getting "" records from Basenames index
file /var/spool/mail/ is not owned by any package
[root@localhost mail]# rpm -qf /var/spool/mail 
filesystem-2.0.2-1
[root@localhost mail]# 

Solution -- if there is a training /  chop it off a 'filename' before
running the query.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-07-10 18:22:34 UTC 
Fixed in rpm-4.0-0.47. BTW, the following will now work as well

	cd /bin
	rpm -qf .

Thanks for the report.
