Every time I emerge rpm, it fails because it can't seem to find the library to install. I've tried various things - building zlib separately, changing use flags, clearing out distribution files, clearing out ebuilds and resyncing, but to not avail. This has been happening for awhile (6 weeks?) and it's finally reached the nuisance level. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge --update --newuse --deep world 3.

rpm-4.4.6 should have this fixed
