[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] 4.15.1: problem with rpm and --root option (#1372)

[Panu Matilainen]

> mkdir -p var/lib/rpm; cp -r /var/lib/rpm var/lib/rpm; rpm -r $(pwd)/var/lib/rpm

The mistake there is that you're specifying the *database path* to -r, whereas in this example $(pwd) would be the root. Use --dbpath if that's what you want to specify.
