Thanks! According to all of that, I found the best solution just for now,
is to rename rpm -> rpm.exec
and make a 'rpm' script that executes rpm.exec --noparentdirs $* all the
time unless I don't want it, I can use rpm.exec itself.

Its "part of the package" which is confusing.
There are two meanings for "part of the package":
1) directory components as part of file paths
2) directory explicitly listed in "rpm -qpl *.rpm"
If its not explicitly in the file manifest, its not "part of the
package"
and you *will* see what you are reporting.

I'm not the person to "fix" --disable-dirname-and-symlink-deps.
My fix will be to rip out the "Have it your own way!" functionality that
isn't "working"
and remove the
--disable-dirname-and-symlink-deps
in order to simplify RPM's build and clarify "supported" functionality.
I
see
no future in carrying around functionality that doesn't work as it
should
and is "vendor supported" by others here @rpm5.org.
I will rip out the option if it isn't fixed by someone else @rpm5.org
this month.
No, it is right that i rip out the option tomorrow. I have introduced
it,
it is equivalent to "vendor supported" - i am pretty sure - but probably
don't work as it should. But if so there should be a spec with
directory-symlink broken deps that does not work even in Mandriva for
example. I would love to see this spec, possibly for tomorrow. Perhaps
ark
linux and mandriva could be find useful. Thanks. Best Regards

<goog_702910032>The idea was to simplify bootstrapping distributions
that do
not use rpm5 as a package manager or that are broken from a QA POW
such as RHEL5:
in short for simplify rpm5 adoption in first place. I am sure someone @
rpm5.org had used patch - not upstream - similar for RHEL5. My memory is
not
so bad, i have seen this in a mail some year ago. The old dog can have
good
