$ grep repackage_dir /usr/lib/rpm/macros
%_repackage_dir /var/spool/up2date
This is how rpm is distributed by Mandrake, but that up2date thing is
surely coming from Redhat. This directory does not exist in the standard
Mandrake tree.

Fixed and verified in rpm-4.0.4-24mdk. Thanks.

description:
The %_repackage_dir is where rpm save the old package when using the --repackage
option. The man page says the default value is /var/tmp. However, rpm --eval
%_repackage_dir gives /var/spool/up2date
The problem is that directory does not exist on mandrake and rpm fails to warn
the user that the package has not been saved.
This macro should be set back to a reasonable value in /usr/lib/rpm/macros
Still true in rpm-4.0.4-21mdk
