I am very happy to be corrected by somebody, but I do not think that this is currently implemented when reading - http://rpm5.org/cvs/fileview?f=rpm/build/parsePreamble.c - http://rpm.org/gitweb?p=rpm.git;a=blob;f=build/parsePreamble.c If you search there for RPMTAG_PREFIXES, you will likely see why I come to this conclusion. And as there is also no addMacro()/delMacro(), I am quite certain there is no "hidden" macro for this that could be abused somehow. You could use a path for Prefix: that is not used in %files but this should fail (according to http://rpm5.org/docs/api/relocatable.html) - however it does interestingly not fail with some RPM versions. Finally this doesn't do the trick, because it does not prevent users from "--relocate /=/my" which at least also works using some RPM versions (even RPM has "Prefix: /usr"; I do not know if this behaviour is really expected).
