rpm not showing the Relocations

All,

I have a package that I am trying to install using RPM. This is the
command I use to install. ( Note that I am using --relocate)

rpm -i --nodeps --relocate /=/home/user/app $packagename

Installation goes through fine but when I query the rpm package as in
rpm -ql $packagename, I still get the Relocations as / instead of
/home/user/app.

# rpm -qi mypackage-3.0-1.i386
Name : mypackage Relocations: /
Version : 3.0 Vendor: ViKtor
Release : 1 Build Date: Wed 08 Mar 2006
03:53:29 PM EST
Install Date: Wed 08 Mar 2006 05:02:31 PM EST Build Host: RH1
Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM:
mypackage-3.0-1.src.rpm
Size : 2877 License: ViKtor
Signature : (none)

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Shekar

Do you do this as the 'user' or as root?
If you do it as 'user', then it usually don't have write right to the rpmdb,
and if you do have the package installed as root too on the system, then it
would show where root did install it. Remember that the -i option don't remove
packages (yous should use -F or -U for that).

Another option that may make things to show up as you want is the --badreloc
not sure if any of these are relevant or will do anything for your problem.
