With rpm-4.15.1-3.fc32.1.x86_64, I get this error:

not an rpm package (or package manifest)

Is this expected?

It seems that rpm-4.16.1.2-1.fc33.x86_64 can parse the RPM just fine.
But rpm-4.14.3-4.el8.x86_64 does not like it, either.

Considering that direct upgrades from F32 to F34 (n to n+2) are supposed to
be supported, this sounds like a blocker to me.

openQA N+2 upgrade tests have indeed been running into this for a few
days:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/759545#step/upgrade_run/20

I had been meaning to dig into it a bit more before filing a bug.


Folks, when rpm starts spitting errors like that, don't think, just file
a bug. It's very, very very very unlikely that it's "ok" in any
imaginable meaning.

It's not that I thought it was "OK", it's just that these days I tend
to like filing a bug report with detailed cause analysis and stuff all
wrapped up :)

And that is certainly appreciated!

But if there's even a wiff of a package generational bug, it's better to act first and think later because those things are not entirely unlike a virus outbreak, those buggers spread fast on every sneeze and stopping it early is the key to damage control :D
