the rpmbuild shipped with openSUSE is the exact binary I am trying to build. You are claiming I need some specific version of rpm, like rpm-4.15-build to build rpm-4.15? Too clearly, that is not possibly. The rpm.spec is supposed to include the requirements needed to build that rpm. It doesn't specify a version of rpm.
Yep this is a minor rpm packaging bug, you could file a bug and the maintainer will fix it if they have time, alternatively it would probably take you 10 minutes to fork the package on obs fix it then resubmit it, i'm happy to help with that process if you'd like.
If my memory serves, the bug was submitted and rejected. It is a major issue for L A Walsh, her machine is not upgradeable because of this failure.
No, the root cause is something different. Having rpm 4.11 which was obsoleted in 2014 on a Tumbleweed machine in 2020 is definitely a configuration problem. It is quite possible to use rpm packages from obsolete Leap releases for increental upgrade. Thanks Michal
