Description of problem:
command line:
[long@dirk /space/valhalla/RedHat/RPMS]$ rpm --excludepath /etc --force --nodeps
--dbpath /home/long/var/lib/rpm -Uvh --prefix=/home/long rsync-2.5.4-2.i386.rpm 

Output:
rpm: only one of --prefix or --relocate may be used

However, I only used one --prefix option and no --relocate options.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just run:  rpm --excludepath /etc --prefix=/home/long
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  rpm: only one of --prefix or --relocate may be used


Expected Results:  I would expect to receive some kind of error message that
matches the options I actually used.
