+Subject: [PATCH] Remove obscure check for package build time from --rebuilddb
+ (#2527)
+
+Back in 1997, commit be0b90359bcd8156385178eb9b570c0538c0333f added a
+sanity check for --rebuilddb operation, skipping headers which lack
+some basic tags. Name, version and release are real requirements for
+packages, but checking for buildtime is odd, and plain wrong.
+Yes, we expect that to be present in packages built by rpm, but that's
+not used for any processing and certainly is not required for a package
+to be installable. And if it can be installed then it can't be
+right to throw it away when rebuilding, leaving untrackable orphan
+files in the process.
+
+It is also documented as informational and optional by LSB. While
+severely outdated, it is right on this account.
+
+Fixes: #2527
