Hello,

I just wanted to copy the kernel configuration file 
(/boot/config-2.6.25.4-10-default) from the latest factory kernel to my 
own kernel. So I downloaded

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/kernel-default-2.6.25.4-10.i586.rpm

Unfortunately none of the usual tools to unpack RPMs (rpm, rpm2cpio, mc) 
could read the downloaded package. Here is an example with "rpm". But 
"mc" and "rpm2cpio" have the same problem with this package:

   rpm -ivh --nodeps kernel-default-2.6.25.4-10.i586.rpm
   Preparing...               
   ########################################### [100%]
      1:kernel-default        
   ########################################### [100%]
   error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

At first I thought the download may be corrupt. But all the checksums 
are right:

   rpm --checksig /tmp/kernel-default-2.6.25.4-10.i586.rpm
   kernel-default-2.6.25.4-10.i586.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK

I am using openSUSE 10.3. Are the RPM tools of openSUSE 10.3 incapable 
to read openSUSE 11/factory rpm packages? I saw on 
http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News#Changes_between_openSUSE_11.0_Alpha_3_and_Beta_1 
that openSUSE factory now uses RPM files with LZMA payload. Could this 
be the reason?

Greetings,
Björn
