http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=920227 Bug ID: 920227 Summary: rpm fails with "error reading from file" when installing (relocating) RPMs that contain only a single file Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: lulaefae@gmx.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- 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: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001553#c6 http://rpm.org/gitweb?p=rpm.git;a=commitdiff;h=65c7cc17664358051f0358de272e6...
