Edit /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc... it is more or less self explanatory.
This begs a question...
Why is rpmrc in /usr/lib/rpm/? Should it not make more sense in
/var/lib/rpm/? I mean this is a configuration file, and it is in
/usr which is sometimes mounted read-only. Not a very good idea
IMHO. It would make _much_ more sense under /var/...
If your /usr is read only, move the file to /var/lib/rpm and make
a symlink in /usr/lib/rpm..
