number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.7.0-2.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: c.f. above Actual results: c.f. above Expected results: Function. Additional info: This bug renders participation in FC12 package development close to impossible and thus contributes to the poor quality of Fedora packages.
Seems as if this bug is fixed in rpm-4.7.1-1.fc11.* (currently in updates/testing) <sigh> It would have been helpful if this issue had been taken care of before unleashing xz-payloads to rawhide. </sigh>
The update was pushed 5th Aug.
The same issue is known but not fixed in F10. Any chance to get an update there too ?
