All,
I'm trying to get a list of files in some binary rpms without
installing them, located at:
http://mirrors.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora/development/i386/os/Packages
For some reason:
rpm2cpio zzuf-0.13-1.fc13.i686.rpm | cpio --list
does not work (it says the created cpio is corrupted, even on the
newest version of rpm2cpo):
cpio: warning: skipped 5486 bytes of junk
cpio: warning: archive header has reverse byte-order
cpio: premature end of file
However, the rpm itself is perfectly fine (rpm -i <file> works).
Hence, it looks like there is a bug in rpm2cpio, most likely because
it is out of sync with rpm. If you wish to reproduce, you can do so by
inspecting:
http://mirrors.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora/development/i386/os/Packages/zzuf-0.13-1.fc13.i686.rpm
Anyways, is there a workaround for this? Right now, this is a
showstopper; I need the list of files out of the package for a rpm
utility I'm building, and unless I can read an arbitrary rpm and get
this list, I'm sort of stuck.. So suggestions are welcome..
Ed
(ps - if I had a wish, I really would want this listing functionality
integrated with rpm itself; not doing so is sort of like having the
'tar' utility with the inability to list out a file's contents.. And
not having it integrated leads to problems like this..)
