Well don't I feel foolish. It had been a while since I used
rpm2cpio. :-)

Everyone has his share of publicly expressed blind spots, so I would not be
upset. I would call it "Welcome to the company" event.

BTW, for what that command does you might be better off with Midnight
Commander. See:

and also section 'RPM browsing':

If all you are trying to do is look at what is contained in the RPM file
use less on the RPM. You'll get all of the header info including a list
of the files contained within.
