Reopening.

I try to get the content of the openoffice*.rpm
# rpm -qlp openoffice.org-core05u-2.1.0-188.i586.rpm
error: Unable to open ${exec_prefix}/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading: No such file or
directory.

As we all know, we (Gentoo) have no DB, we need a fix, fast.

Due to the fact, rpm-4.2.1 is removed out of the portage tree, there exists no
alternative to stupid rpm-4.4.6.

I want my rpm-4.2.1 back!

I can't change the prio of this bug to P1, but I recommend it, because the rpm
4.4.6 hinders me to work.

Currently I use an OVERLAY of rpm-4.2.1.ebuild from portage-20061015.tar.bz2.

The problem was that on x86 system portage does not pass --libdir to
./configure. I've modified rpm-4.4.6-stupidness.patch a little bit so it should
substitute the right value.

Hopefully bug is fixed in rpm-4.4.6-r2 :)
