Details

Description:

Up-to an year or so ago, libevent*so did not have RPATH. That was spot on, since we install the libraries in the default search path /usr/lib. Upstream "force" enabled RPATH, so make their CI new happy [1] - since in that case, the lot is installed to /usr/local/lib.

Please drop rpath by using
$ cmake -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=TRUE ...

Additional info:
* package version(s)
2.1.12-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Rebuild with `cmake -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=TRUE ...`
2. Run any program which uses libevent
3. Things just work

The following patch does the job.

Edit: as the commit message says - the _INSTALL_ variant must be used, otherwise the tests fail.
