Bug 151703 – rpm 4.4.6(-r1) is broken

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description apost1 2006-10-17 07:30:31 UTC]

Finalizing emerge, an error message is displayed. The same error message occurs, when using rpm. Looks like a (ba)sh variable not beeing replaced by it's content, but beeing hardcoded somewhere in rpm. Tested on x86, x86 SMP and amd64 (all 2006.1).
Some additional outputs:

 * rpm-4.4.6.tar.gz MD5 ;-) ...
 * [ ok ]
