3.1 x86-64: error converrting rpm

[Rava]

Some long time ago, (others, when I recall correct) and me already had the same issue:

Trying to convert some rpm gets this error, while it works well for other rpms.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/xxx# rpm2targz sK1-0.9.1-0.11.pre_rev730.fc22.x86_64.rpm 
ERROR:  rpm2cpio failed.  (maybe sK1-0.9.1-0.11.pre_rev730.fc22.x86_64.rpm is not an RPM?)
root@porteus:/mnt/xxx# file sK1-0.9.1-0.11.pre_rev730.fc22.x86_64.rpm 
sK1-0.9.1-0.11.pre_rev730.fc22.x86_64.rpm: RPM v3.0 bin i386/x86_64

It worked for an rpm that I needed for viewnior or it contained a needed 64 bit lib.
This rpm I could convert:

Code: Select all

libexiv2-13-0.24-4.1.9.x86_64.rpm: RPM v3.0 bin i386/x86_64

At least for "file" both rpms seem of the same version, so i don't get why I cannot convert some, but can convert others and file reports me they are all the same rpm version...

//Update
Or is it this same issue back from Sep 2014:

Newer fedora rpm's use 7z compression. rpm2cpio doesn't know about 7z yet.

@Rava

3.1rc & 3.1 rc1 32-bit allowed conversion of Fedora rpm which failed before. Presumably rpm2cpio now aware of 7z compression. However your error message looks a lot like that that came before 3.1.

EDIT

Code: Select all

But I am running x86-64 3.1 finale version. It should work in that, yes?
Is there a way to check if rpm2Whatever is able to handle 7z?

//update
I tried again with a rpm that failed, it's the 7z issue indeed:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/xxx# rpm2targz viewnior-1.4-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm 
ERROR:  rpm2cpio failed.  (maybe viewnior-1.4-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm is not an RPM?)
root@porteus:/mnt/xxx# 7z x viewnior-1.4-2.fc21.x86_64.rpm
