> There proper "fix" here is rather not obvious:
>      rpm-4.4.9 was released 4+ years ago and has no upgrade
>      path and no future whatsoever.
>
> So the best fix imho is to retire rpm-4.4.9 and use rpm-5.2.1 instead.
>
> If you disagree, then its easy enough to either stub-in the symbol,
> or #if 0 the code, since MacPorts uses Mach-O, not ELF. If there really
> is someone who relies on rpm+elf on MacPorts, then rpm-5.2.1
> (released several years ago) is a far better solution than repairing
> rpm-4.4.9.
>
> I can likely figure a "fix" for rpm-4.4.9 in a couple of minutes
> if there really is interest in rpm-4.4.9 functioning in MacPorts
> in spite of what I've just said.
>
> Which solution do you wish (and asked generally of MacPorts as well
> as specifically of the bug reporter)?
