Looks like you are trying to install a package that was created by a more recent version of rpm that does support Lzma compression while your own rpm version doesn't. Can you please add a link to the package you are trying to install and state what distribution you are using.
http://download.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/linux/opensuse/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_11.0/i586/viking-0.9.4-2.5.i586.rpm I'm using Fedora 9
Fedora does not support rpm packages with Lzma compresion yet. Rpm upstream already has Lzma support but it is not yet released and therefore may not get into Fedora 9. As a work around you can try to rebuild the source package on your system. I am closing this as it is more or less a missing feature and installing random packages from other distributions is neither supported nor encouraged. Nevertheless this problem is already targeted by upstream and expected to go away in the future (releases of the involved distributions).
