As you suspected, I used the rpm2cpio binary built in the same make
that built the rpm that also couldn't read the .rpm files. My rpm to
cpio pipe looks substantially like yours; you didn't use the -c nor
-m flags.
I just did a web search for an rpm2cpio script. Is this the one
you're referring to?

I tried the script on an rpm I have at home, and it worked just fine.
I don't have any of the older rpms here tho, so I'll wait
until tomorrow to test it on one of those.
There's also a Bourne shell variant and another perl script here:

Thanks for the tip about there being more than one rpm2cpio.
