Yah, I pushed *.src.rpm onto a common code path with binary *.rpm's
installs through rpmtsRun() (in July iirc) to start to phase out the  
like 3
goofy srpm code paths that always burn me when I focus on mainline
installation code paths.

Now if I break something, _EVERYTHING_ breaks, not some
weird random corner case using *.src.rpm's that isn't noticed until
after I release.

The full path for srpm's wasn't intentional, entirely accidental,  
populating a
rpmfi structure from a srpm.

The expansion is likely there in lib/rpmfi.c, the per-package macro  
context
that defines %name is likely what is missing. Undefined expansions  
are returned
literally.

todo++. Add to TODO please (or I will, I too have %{name} in my  
rpmbuild configgery)
