[opensuse-factory] Bad magic in SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/kernel-default-2.6.25.4-10.i586.rpm ?
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/i5... 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_an... that openSUSE factory now uses RPM files with LZMA payload. Could this be the reason?

Yes. You can for instance install the RPM from Factory too to get the kernel extracted.

Thanks, this works. Fortunately the rpm-package from Factory (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i5...) itself could be extracted with the old "rpm" and "rpm2cpio" tools. Are there already recommendations for upgrades to openSUSE 11 in a running system? I know, that upgrades in running systems are not officially supported. But my internet server provides does not support distribution upgrades for their V-Servers at all. And so I upgraded successfully with YUM from 10.0 to openSUSE 10.3 last year. For openSUSE 11 I probably have to upgrade "rpm" before running the YUM-upgrade procedure?

You can try to install the new zypper + satsolver and run "zypper dup". Hub --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

a) upgrade RPM b) upgrade and/or install libzypp zypper satsolver-tools and their dependencies. c) run "zypper dup" d) comment your upgrade experience on the mailing list. e) profit ;-) -- “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” - Gandhi Cristian Rodríguez R.
