lab / # ls -l /usr/lib/rpmpopt 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Sep 23 13:54 /usr/lib/rpmpopt ->
rpm/rpmpopt

lab / # locate rpmpopt
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.0.4
/usr/lib/rpmpopt


Without looking into this any further than just finding it... my guess is to
patch the ebuild to perform a 'ln -sf /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-${PV} /usr/lib/rpmpopt'

Hmm... that symlink doesn't exist anywhere on the Redhat 7.3 installs I have
access to so I'm going to just remove it.  (see -r4 ebuild)

Thanks for the bug report.
