I'm playing around with the functions exposed via librpm. Using
Chapter 16 of the Red Hat RPM Guide as a crutch, I'm trying to read
the header information from a package. I'm pretty sure that I coded
it up correctly, but I get rather odd results. My code calls
headerDump() first, and then headerNEVRE(), and attempts to print out
the results. Here's the output that I get:
rhel4-devel[RPMs]% ~/rpmheader zsh-4.2.0-3.i386.rpm
Entry count: 7
CT TAG TYPE OFSET COUNT
Entry : 000 (62)(unknown) BIN 0xffffff90 00000016

What's bizarre here is that the RPMTAG definitions don't seem to line
up with the tag types. RPMTAG_NAME is defined as 1000, but is stored
as an INT32 type. I'm testing this on RPMs that ship with RHEL4ES, so
I'm assuming those were created properly, with all the fields populated.
The platform ships with rpm-devel v4.3...
