RE: rpm -qp --queryformat "%{defaultprefix}\n" perl.rpm

[Peter Gibbons-BU <peter gibbons 01 bbc co uk>]

many thanks,
so defaultprefix is no longer valid as a tag, although mentioned on the
redhat site.

so, my question now if:

rpm -qp --queryformat "%{instprefixes}\n" perl.rpm

if this returns none, does this mean, that the rpm is not relocatable?

ie how do i find out if the perl.rpm is relocatable?

many thanks
peewee
