Description of problem: It would be nice if I could open rpms on RHEL5 that were made on RHEL6. The rpm2cpio command reports: cpio: warning: skipped 9230 bytes of junk cpio: warning: archive header has reverse byte-order ?pio: k{?y?3?3????????hq?tI[Q????m?aI???�p???x? 5p????hP#? : unknown file type cpio: premature end of file Or similar. It would be nice if the rpm could still be extracted. This is not a request to install RHEL6 rpms on RHEL5, rather I just want rpm2cpio to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):rpm-4.4.2.3-28.el5_8.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find a source rpm build on RHEL6 with rpmbuild 2. put it on a RHEL5 box 3. try and run rpmbuild --rebuild on the source rpm 4. get errors on extraction. Actual results: can't open rpm Expected results: being able to open the rpm Additional info:
