What does your message have to do with Shane's message?  Instead start

You can query the package for that information.

  rpm -qp --queryformat '%{PREFIXES}' foo-1.2-3.arch.rpm

If there are prefixes then the package has been specified to be
relocatable.  Now as to whether the package will actually work
correctly that is a different question.  I have seen a lot of packages
claim to be relocatable but in reality are not.
