>Description:
The rpm2cpio utility that comes as part of the redhat package manager
ports distribution bombs out trying to re-open the rpm.  Apparently,
ferror() returns a non-zero value although an error hasn't occured.

The patch in fix section corrects the problem.

Note: since redhat only distributes source in SRPMs (spit in their
general direction), rpm2cpio is needed to extract the tarballs
from the SRPM.  The perl rpm2cpio (ports/misc/rpm2cpio) doesn't
support version 4 RPMs.


>How-To-Repeat:
Download a recent RPM from redhat.  I ran into this with
pump-0.8.3-2.src.rpm.  Ran rpm2cpio < pump-0.8.3-2.src.rpm |pax -r
and rpm2cpio replies with cannot re-open payload: (null).


>Fix:
The following patch eliminates the problem.
