Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading

[Anurag Bhandari]

James,

How to use this rpmpopt file for my purpose? I did see the text "rpm
alias --info --qf [...]" in my rpmpopt-4.4.1 file (in
~/fakeroot/usr/lib/rpm/ directory).

 This is popt, ie. on my system:

/usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.6.0

...which contains "rpm     alias --info --qf [...]" among others.
