>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.
