Pardon, I have been too much synthetic: english is't my first language. Then,I do not share the patch proposed in stable branch (rpm 4.4.6 and 5). The motivations are the same ones expressed in several mail on the argument in the past years, and I believe in the same reasons.
In particular, to my opinion, to impose in categorical way that the produced RPM do not depend on directory orphaned would obtain the same ones overal benefits in term of RPM QA that it has had "fascist check" in phase of build, almost for me: ok, is not a corrected comparison, but it renders the idea. Moreover, the system manegiability would be better if all the system components are expressed as package dependency. Moreover the problem, from what I know, is famous from years, leading to the production of instruments as http://enrico-scholz.de/rpmDirectoryCheck/INFO: but i think that it is better that the problem is solved by rpm itself, I hope of having express better my thought, Wrong that is, on the argument.
