This is probably fixable if necessary. Could you
attach the pkgs and
rpm -q --qf 'rpmversion: %rpmversion) built: %{buildtime:date}' pkgs
output please? Thanks ...
Sorry, just noted the url's, i will do. Thanks for report. Heh, really really old packages:
$ rpm -qp --qf 'rpmversion: %{rpmversion} built %{buildtime:date}\n' amp*

Here's the dump of the header metadata.

Rebuild strongly encouraged, this is V2 packaging, and a.out executable needs to die even if still supported by kernel/glibc somehow. WONTFIX because of age of packaging. Can/will fix if/when necessary, I see little reason to mess around with V2 packaging in the year 2003. Correction: That package contains an ELF executable, not a.out. Anyway, since rpm2cpio works, WONTFIX is fine with me. |
