I got the above working. Because I'm installing rpm in a non-standard location I had to alter the location of /etc/rpm/sysinfo I tried this with %_rpmds_sysinfo_path which didn't work because that path is hardcoded into +++ rpm-4.4.6/lib/depends.c 2006-11-09 15:19:35.000000000 -0800 +++ rpm-4.4.6/lib/rpmds.c 2006-11-09 15:19:48.000000000 -0800 +++ rpm-4.4.6/lib/rpmds.h 2006-11-09 15:19:52.000000000 -0800 +++ rpm-4.4.6/lib/rpmrc.c 2006-11-09 15:19:55.000000000 -0800 +++ rpm-4.4.6/python/rpmds-py.c 2006-11-09 15:19:58.000000000 -0800 +++ rpm-4.4.6/tools/rpmdeps.c 2006-11-09 15:20:00.000000000 -0800 I patched those files with my compile-time path (I'm building on multiple systems with OS & arch specific paths) to sysinfo. As I said, this seems to work fine. But, I thought you might want to hear about it anyway.
