Comment (by egall@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 afb@…]:
 > RPM does this on purpose, to avoid external dependencies for critical
 components (popt, file, db, lua)...

 especially for the ancient rpm ?

 For the same reason that MacPorts usually tries to use its own libraries
 instead of letting ports use their own bundled versions, I'd guess...
