Grrr ...
While trying to diagnose rsc's perl issue, I find myself on a
"vanilla" F10 system with "make install" of rpm-5.1.4.
Here's what I see
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm --version
rpm (RPM) 5.1.DEVEL
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ perl -MRPM::PackageIterator -e '$iter =
RPM::PackageIterator->new("NAME", "rpm"); while ($pkg = $iter->next())
{print $pkg->as_nvre(), "\n";}' popt
Segmentation fault

I have a list of ~10 incompatibilities, growing hourly, all introduced
by
rpm-4.5.90 deployment into Fedora 10.
Since I have to get some real work down with rpm-5.1.4 on Fedora 10
this week,
I'm going to need to solve the biggest issue, incompatible content
on the path /usr/lib/rpm/macros first.
So I'm likely to resurrect
%rpmhome /usr/lib/rpm/5.1.4
and flip the "default" macros path to
%{rpmhome}/macros
instead.
The next major issue will be db->4.5 != db-4.7 (and a deficient
implementation in rpm-4.5.90, rpm-4.4.8 and later already accomodates
other versions of Berkeley DB in other tools for rdonly access)
compatibility.
At that point I can begin to retrofit compatibility for the rpm-4.5.90
header and
keyring changes unilaterally ...
Sound like a plan?
