  That returned ''kernel-headers-A.B.C-R.arch.rpm'' with old rpm, will return nothing with rpm 5.x.
- Yo have to do '''readlink -f''' first, or change to symlinked directory and do relative path query.

-  * '''''-Wformat -Werror=format-security''''' options are added to compiler flags, more information about it can be found on [http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging/Problems#format_not_a_string_literal_and_no_format_arguments Mandriva Wiki]
