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.)
Thanks.
