Hi, I try to unpack postgresql-server-8.3.4-1.9.i586.rpm from factory without installing it. (I want to look if an error in the 10.3 init.d script is still there.) No problem, I think: rpm2cpio postgresql-server-8.3.4-1.9.i586.rpm >p.cpio Well, just, except: No error message, but the produced file is no cpio file either. (file p.cpio outputs just "data".) I'm rather sure that the RPM file is OK: rpm -ql on that file produces no error, and I downloaded it twice to make sure that I don't got an error on a mirror. Can anybody give me a hint, either why rpm2cpio is not working or how one can unpack a RPM file in other ways? In case you want to try it yourself: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/postgresql-server-8.... I called rpm2cpio both on a 10.0 and a 10.3 system with identical results; I don't have 11.0 running at the moment.
