I have filed a bug report for you for this problem:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35048

Note that the rpm port contains the very old version 4.4.9 of the rpm program. Other ports exist that provide newer versions of rpm which you may want to use instead. None of the newer rpm ports have this particular bug.


$ port search "the rpm"
rpm @4.4.9 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

rpm45 @4.5 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

rpm50 @5.0.3 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

rpm51 @5.1.9 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

rpm52 @5.2.1 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

rpm53 @5.3.11 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

rpm54 @5.4.9 (sysutils, archivers)
    The RPM package management system.

Found 7 ports.
