Description Robert Scheck 2007-02-20 22:31:02 UTC

Description of problem:
I know, this is not really a bug, but isn't it possible either to fix this 
problem or to print a better error message?

$ rpm2cpio http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
Fedora/RPMS/vim-minimal-7.0.109-3.i386.rpm
rpm2cpio: ./rpmio_internal.h:301: fdGetFp: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 
0x04463138' failed.
$ 

$ rpm2cpio http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
Fedora/RPMS/vim-minimal-7.0.109-3.i386.rpm
rpm2cpio: ./rpmio_internal.h:352: fdGetFp: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 
0x04463138' failed.
Abgebrochen
$ 

("Abgebrochen" means "canceled").

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.4.2-32
rpm-4.4.8-1

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
Strange error message ;-)

Expected results:
Better error message or working stuff...

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2007-02-21 02:52:02 UTC

Fixed (by replacing rpm2cpio.c with rpm2cpio.sh) in rpm cvs, will be in rpm-4.4.9-0.1 when built.

UPSTREAM

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2007-02-21 04:21:20 UTC

This is a dupe of #167483 which claims (erroneously) that the problem is FIXED.

Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-07-18 18:18:57 UTC

Yes it's a dupe, and yes it is actually fixed in F7 (by not using neon
transport) and also with neon in 4.4.2.1 in rawhide.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 167483 ***

Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2007-07-18 18:24:50 UTC

replacing != fixing, accept no substitutes.

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2007-07-18 18:29:28 UTC

As rpm.org is just one RPM upstream and not THE upstream and as I'm not using 
rpm.org's rpm, I don't care about this. Finally this bug report was initially 
meant for what is now rpm5.org... ;-)
