Yum Cannot Open Rpm Files Archive From RPM

It extracts cpio archive from RPM Package Manager (RPM) package.

With the following hack, you will be able to extract an RPM file.

First you use the rpm2cpio to convert the.rpm file into a cpio archive on standard out.

If a - argument is given, an rpm stream is read from standard in.

To vieweditextract files click or press on the special function keys.

In this example, I pressed F3 function key to view php.conf file: Fig.03: Viewing php.conf file.

So if you are on MacOS or FreeBSD try the tar command to extract an rpm file.

One thing to note is that opensuse compresses the cpio part with lzma to decrease size so you have to do something like the following instead.

In short type: rpm -pq --scripts file.rpm rpm -pq --scripts rsnapshot-1.3.0-1.noarch.rpm Here is sample output from my rpm.

Can I just mv to and have program installed and running Yes, I know, if this works the rpm database is not updated.

I kept getting segmentation fault with plain old rpm and all I really needed from the rpm was some source files in a direction.

I then did a yum update rpm and it downloaded the latest rpm package and that solved the problem.

This need to be run automatically once we extarcted the rpm.

Now I was expecting to see a.spec file or something where the dependencies are listed but I cant find it anywhere in the extraction path.

Im trying to learn where rpm -qpR gets its information from.

If youre getting gibberish, the following might sort out your issue.
