This is my first exposure to rpm-5 and I couldn't understand why I
couldn't rpm -qip [--changelog] URL or rpm -U --oldpackage URL, some
rpm functionalities I've come to use often, after 11 years of
Mandrake|iva. This thread is the first suggestion of the reason
I've found, after some fruitless google searching and devising some
testing to eliminate local
corruption:https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=64914
Is "network access was disabled in rpm-5.0.0" why I am seeing this?
If so, can the functionalities be restored?
Its likely the reason, yes. But there's quite a few years of history
between the report and mdv2011 so I cannot say for sure.
It is the same means to re-enable
Then "opt-in" to network access by doing
echo "%_rpmgio %{nil}" >> /etc/rpm/macros
I changed the behavior a few years back (I've forgot why, there is/was
a reason).
Here's the comment (and tested with first URL at the bug report on
mdv2011)
I added to bz#64914
If you configure a macro, then ftp/http transport will be re-enabled.
This can be done on the CLI by adding
-D '_rpmgio .ufdio'
of done persistently by doing
echo '%_rpmgio .ufdio'>> /etc/rpm/macros
Note that this is "unsupported" (by Mandriva) functionality in RPM.

Ok, got -qip back. I'm amazed there's no one else using this
functionality, apparently. Thanks for your help.
