[opensuse] Anyone else having rpm2cpio trouble?
When I run rpm2cpio (packagename) I get a very scrambled output, and when it returns to the prompt, the prompt is scrambled too, as well as anything I type. Only way out of this is to close the terminal and restart. Another symptom, rpm2cpio --help works before I actually run an rpm2cpio process. But after I run the process, if I attempt rpm2cpio --help, it hangs. Even after having closed the terminal and restarting it. I'm not seeing rpm2cpio in ps aux or top, so not sure where to clear out rpm2cpio, other than by a reboot. Anyone else have this problem in 10.3? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It seems that you sent output to console instead to file: rpm2cpio file.rpm > file.cpio should work. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well don't I feel foolish. It had been a while since I used rpm2cpio. :-) -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Everyone has his share of publicly expressed blind spots, so I would not be upset. I would call it "Welcome to the company" event. BTW, for what that command does you might be better off with Midnight Commander.

If all you are trying to do is look at what is contained in the RPM file use less on the RPM. You'll get all of the header info including a list of the files contained within.

Try typing, blindingly, "reset" and enter. It usually works. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
