Trying to rpm install the genuine upstream LibreOffice 4.4.1 RPMs from
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.4.1/rpm/x86/ as a
normal user results in rpm throughing an "error: error reading from file".

This bug is only triggered when the installation is relocating the rpm, i.e.
the "--prefix" option is used with the rpm command.

The interesting thing about it is, that there has been a fix for this from 2013
in Fedora's rpm which has not yet made it into SuSE's rpm:
