rpmlint complains about rpath
Hi all, I have worked on updating kbibtex.[1] However, I get a rpmlint complaint that the executable and some libaries include reference to rpath or runpath (/usr). I have used "chrpath -d" to remove them so that the build succeeds, but I can't imagine this is a good approach. Is this something I should report upstream or is there is trick, like a build flag, to solve this in a nice way? Thanks.

rpath should almost always be patched out. It's bad for distributions because it overrides default search paths for libraries and hardcodes them instead. https://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue - Adam

Thanks. I also found: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_checks I have reported this upstream. Cor
