Package: rpm-common Version: 4.8.1-6+squeeze1 Severity: minor In line 158 of the file /usr/lib/rpm/macros, the rpm database path is defined as:
%_dbpath %(echo $HOME/.rpmdb) Is it really OK? It seems that (judging from where the macro file is stored) this dbpath is a system-wide setting, whereas $HOME/.rpmdb looks like a per-user value? I think it is better to assign it to the standard /var/lib/rpm, and then if some user wants its own db, create their own $HOME/.rpmmacros and define dbpath be whatever they like. (I used rpm on debian because I used febootstrap.)
