RPM not converted

[Hamza]

Hi,

I can't convert one RPM into XZM. I have tried to downloads it from many different source but I still can't convert it in XZM or TXZ. I'm using Porteus v2.0 x86_64 running on KDE4.

RPM: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discon ... noarch.rpm

I'm getting this error message:

Code: Select all

rpm2txz ndesk-dbus-glib-0.4.1-0.1.noarch.rpm 
ERROR:  rpm2cpio failed.  (maybe ndesk-dbus-glib-0.4.1-0.1.noarch.rpm is not an RPM?)

This link is a mirror of old opensuse repositories. Please note that I can convert any other RPM to XZM without problems.


Thanks.

wait if mono compile i can get you the package in the usual way...

[brokenman]

Code: Select all

rpm2cpio ndesk-dbus-glib-0.4.1-0.1.noarch.rpm
error: rpm2cpio: rpmReadSignature failed: sigh load: BAD
error reading header from package

Looks like a bad module, or perhaps a new module with a different format.

tried and this rpm converts fine with 'rpm2tar' under gentoo so probably slackware's equivalent is not compatible with this particular type of rpm.
not a real solution but i could send you tar archive if you still need this app.

Well??? 8) don't try OpenSUSE programs.. it confuses the console.. archive install in other archive

Are you using porteus or wifislax?

In Porteus there is a built in virtualbox builder. You will need the 05-devel module activated in order to build it.
