Ah thanks for reporting.

The issue is related to eliminating RPM_I18NSTRING_TYPE, there is likely
a rpmbuild issue … easy fixing todo++. I seem to recall fixing this problem before ...

Well the rpm tarsal is likely carrying internal versions of
	BeeCrypt
	PCRE
	POPT
	NEON
	LUA (and several modules)
	libgit2
	Perl-URPMI
and
	libtpm
for portability.

Open up the tarsal and rip out what you don’t want (e.g. “rm -rf libtpm libgit2”)
and configure/build against external libraries instead.

Pleas note that my maximally configured development version of rpm looks like this:
	 $ ldd .libs/rpm | wc -l
     102
(Yes that is rpm linking 102 libraries so I include essential components internally)

The only lossage will be with LUA: the RPM+LUA embedding will lack some useful
embedded modules.

This e-mail might be useful too:
