Can you say what it is? I'm seeing this on my centos 5.2 mock host.
The rpm version on the host has to be able to support the larger file
checksums. We have a special rpm built for our EL5 builders that
provides this. I don't know if that rpm build is hosted anywhere out in
the open, I do believe Mitr built it for us.
It's going to be quite a large problem if people can no longer use mock
on an older system to test rawhide builds. What is the plan to address
this?
The strong file hashes are just the first messenger that got through, and
the message it brings is that it's time for people to wake up from the
sleep of last hundred, err, ten years and realize that rpm can and does
change. And yes it means older rpm versions can't always install packages
built by a newer rpm.
