[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] [Bug] ⪅ `rpm-6.0.0-1.fc43` renders the value of the "License" key on a separate line from the key, whereas it should render it on the same line, as `fc42`'s did. (Issue #4028)

It's in fact the Signature key that's now preceded by a newline. That's by design, rpm now supports multiple signatures per package (see #3439), and so the Signature tag, as presented in the `rpm -qi` output, is now a string array, formatted this way to differentiate it from the other, simple tags. The closest counterpart would be the Description tag which is a multi-line string, also formatted in a similar way (minus the indent).

Please note that parsing the `rpm -qi` output is unsupported. If you wish to extract metadata from a package, use [rpm-queryformat(7)](https://rpm.org/docs/latest/man/rpm-queryformat.7) instead. In fact, `rpm -qi` is itself implement as an alias to an elaborate `rpm --queryformat` command that prints a human-readable table.

With that, I'll close this ticket now.
