Yup, see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397209. Whether it's
truly *intentional* I don't know but AFAIK it's always been that way.
Fixing it is a simple matter of:
```
--- a/rpmio/macro.c
+++ b/rpmio/macro.c
@@ -687,8 +687,10 @@ grabArgs(MacroBuf mb, const rpmMacroEntry me, const char *
se,
* Append the results to main argv.
*/
{ ARGV_t av = NULL;
- char *s = xcalloc((lastc-se)+1, sizeof(*s));
- memcpy(s, se, (lastc-se));
+ char *s = NULL;
+
+ /* Expand possible macros in the arguments */
+ expandThis(mb, se, lastc-se, &s);
argvSplit(&av, s, " \t");
argvAppend(&argv, av);
```
...but it'd be changing a longstanding behavior and there's no telling what
might break if we did that.
