In
rpm-4.4.7 and later, every file depends on its parent directory.All of the dependency failures you are seeing are parent directories
that aren't packaged.There is a --noparentdirs that disables the dependencies on parent
directories.Another easy persistent fix for your specific problem(s) is
Â*Â* Â*mkdir -p /etc/rpm/sysinfoÂ*Â* Â*echo "/usr" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfoDirnamesÂ*Â* Â*echo "/usr/local" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Dirnames
Â*Â* Â*echo "/usr/local/etc" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/DirnamesÂ*Â* Â*...
There is also ( in 4.4.7+?, I fergit) a --orphandirsÂ*popt alias that willdisplay all directories that are not packaged:
Â*Â* Â*rpm -Va --nofiles --orphandirsthat should generate a sort'd uniq'd list of directories that are not packaged.

Ah ia64 multilib.
Expect some problems is all that I can say. The implementation of multilib on ia64in rpm was done in like 8 hours on a borrowed ia64 developer's box and has never beenproperly QA'd to my knowledge.
SELinux, in particular, is likely to be extremely weird on a multilib/ia64 boxbecause of the /emul/noarch-hpux11.23 prefix breaking the lookup of
file contexts from SELinux configuration.I'll be happy to help you sort out any/all multilib/ia64.
Likely <rpm-devel@rpm5.org>Â*is a better place to report issues, as only the few & the brave are attemptingÂ*HP-UX multilib/ia64 relocated installs with rpm-4.4.7+.

Thanks for these

I tried the –noparentdirs option and it works fine.

Â*
I’m not so aware
about the rpm developmentsÂ*; I’m just an rpm user. What do you means
by multilib ?
About the _autorelocate_path
macro setting, I noticed that this one is mandatory when the –prefix option is used, what ever the
package architecture. Otherwise, the package is installed under /emul/noarch-hpux11.23, or even under /emul/ia64-hpux11.23 for the architecture
dependents packages built on ia64.

SELinux, in

I'm not sure what else you want documented. The ruleÂ*Â* Â*Every file depends on its parent directory.seems pretty obvious and unambiguous to me.
The issues that I'm aware of are solely with compatibility,and the --noparentdirs/--parentdirs options are mechanism only, theycannot solve compatibility issues that depend on distro packaging policy.
There has always been a need in rpm to identify directories thatare not contained in packages, and are left behind when packagesare erased. There is also the need to add SELinux file contexts
to all created files/directories correctly, which is most rationally doneif all directories are contained in some package.
Â*
There
is also ( in 4.4.7+?, I fergit) a --orphandirsÂ*popt

Â*
The term "multilib" comes from gcc and describes conventions for installingexecutables/librariesÂ*for multiple platforms on a Â*system.
The functionality was added to rpm on ia64 to permit installing ix86as well as ia64 packages. The _autorelocate_path variable is usedto configure the prefix of the path for the non-native executables.
SELinux, in
particular, is likely to be extremely weird on a multilib/ia64 box
because of the
/emul/noarch-hpux11.23 prefix breaking the lookup of
