One additional information is that rpm -V says everything is OK:

Hi, while installing rpm-5.0.3 and testing it in my environment I found a different behaviour compared to rpm-5.0.2regarding handling of dependency check during installation of packages. An example should demonstrate this. A package base-bin define the following directory structure /imp to beincluded in the package: 
Summary: Base PackageName: base-binPrefix: /imp.... %installmkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/impmkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/imp/sysmkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/imp/navmkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/imp/mm .... %files/imp 
Installing the package relocating /imp to /my/home/imp gives the following error:
 
        /imp is needed by base-bin-1.0-0803041109.i686
 
So my questions are:
 
1) what is the correct way of specifying directories for packages to prevent these kind of installation errors ?
 
2) which changes regarding dependency checks have been put into rpm 5.0.3 ?
 
Running this example with rpm-5.0.2 does not report any error.
 
Thx,
Stefan
