Description of problem:

The check-rpaths script prints output like:

> ERROR   0020: file '/opt/gcc-latest/lib64/libtsan.so.2.0.0' contains an  referencing '..' of an absolute path [/opt/gcc-latest/lib/../lib64]


Note the "contains an  referencing" part.


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

rpm-build-4.17.0-1.fc35.x86_64
rpm-build-4.17.0-1.fc36.1.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gcc -shared -o libx.so -Wl,-rpath,/home/lib64,-rpath,/home/../lib64 -x c /dev/null
2. /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths-worker libx.so


Actual results:

ERROR   0002: file 'libx.so' contains an invalid  '/home/lib64' in [/home/lib64]
ERROR   0020: file 'libx.so' contains an  referencing '..' of an absolute path [/home/lib64:/home/../lib64]



Expected results:

"contains an invalid rpath" or "contains an invalid runpath"

Note however that the second ERROR will say "contains an runpath referencing" which is not correct English grammar. So even fixing the incorrect definition of the $lower variable won't fix it completely.
