This is a severe violation of the FHS (/bin/ programs are supposed to be runable without /usr) and renders rpm unusable should /usr be non-available.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.4.1-22

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. su -
2. mv /usr /usr2
3. rpm -q rpm

  

Actual Results:  # rpm -q bash
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Expected Results:  /bin/rpm should remain functional.
