The value for the rpm directory is hard coded into the configuration file.
Anything we do outside of that MUST match.  Inspect the rpm macros file for the
matching value.  (This is why /var/lib/rpm was hard coded in the past.)

As for smart, I don't remember the rules offhand, so someone will need to figure
out if it's variable (compile time) or hard coded.
