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...
Fixed (by replacing rpm2cpio.c with rpm2cpio.sh) in rpm cvs, will be in rpm-4.4.9-0.1 when built. UPSTREAM
This is a dupe of #167483 which claims (erroneously) that the problem is FIXED.
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 ***
replacing != fixing, accept no substitutes.
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... ;-)
