Actually, RPM uses the CWD (current working directory) to determine the path
to a file, just like any other program.
cd /bin ; rpm -qf ls
... works just fine. But
cd $HOME; rpm -qf ls
... tells RPM to look for "$HOME/ls" instead. Programs (such as the shell)
which search $PATH for files are the exception, not the rule. Just FYI. :)
