Hi,
 
just tried out the rpm-5.0.1.tar.gz delivery from rpm5.org.
 
Seems that the fix to check for dependencies during installation did not made it into the release!?
 
I verified it with the set of test packages I posted around. And unfortuanetly they instal without
any complains.
 
Will it be included in the next release?
 
Thx,
Stefan

Hi, Just verified in my environment: works there as well!!By the way: --noparentdirs is necessary. Otherwise there are complaints about missingdepdencies for directories. Did not find any hint in man page or --help output. 
Yep.

The easiest survival path with dependencies on parent directories is
to run
    mkdir -p /etc/rpm/sysinfo
    rpm -Va --orphandirs > /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Dirnames

The better fix is to add some package (like filesystem)
that "owns" the directories.
