Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2003-01-27 22:02:58 UTC

Description of problem:
When I use rpm --eval to evaluate a macro, the shell exit status is 3.  I would
expect 0 when the macro is evaluated properly (i.e., evaluation completes
without having to break out of an infinite recursion).

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm --eval '%{_libdir}'
2. echo $?

Actual Results:  3

Expected Results:  0

Whoops, checked with rpm-4.2-0.61 and rpm-4.2-0.62.
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2003-01-28 12:34:08 UTC
