When run rpm2cpio, it fails with segmentation fault. The root cause is
no macros "_db_path" and "_dbi_config*" defined, when query these macros
get nothing then cause segment fault.
Add patch to parse macro files first to fix this problem.
I talked briefly with the RPM maintainer about this a while back.
I don't think this is the right patch. Not because what it does is wrong. (The
patch itself is actually likely correct in the general case.) However, the
proper fix is to simply use the rpm2cpio shell script, and never install the
binary. (This does introduce a dependency on 'file', but I don't believe that
should be a major concern.)
So my suggestion is to rework this fix by:
1) Keep what you have below (why? because if someone really wants the binary
it'll prevent the segfault.)
2) Change the recipe's do_install to copy in the rpm2cpio.sh and replace the
binary version.
3) Ensure that the package that rpm2cpio is in gets a dependency on 'file'.
