Description Brendan Rankin 2008-01-10 20:20:14 UTC 
After emerging rpm5, I tried to re-emerge openoffice-bin due to some USE flag changes and the emerge failed during unpacking with various cpio "end of file not reached" errors.

I tracked this failure back to issues in the rpm5 package, so I masked rpm-5.0.0 and re-emerged openoffice-bin successfully.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Emerge rpm-5.0.0.
2.  Try to emerge openoffice-bin
    - It will fail.
3.  Mask rpm-5.0.0.
4.  Emerge "older" rpm.
5.  emerge openoffice-bin, again.
    - It will succeed.

Actual Results:  
Failed emerge of openoffice-bin.....unpacking is the source of the failure, but the actual failure happens during the install stage.

Expected Results:  
Successful emerge of openoffice-bin.

The openoffice-bin ebuild makes use of rpm_unpack functionality.  This functions with pre-5.0.0 rpm, but not with 5.0.0.

I had this similar bug while using "rpm2targz-9.0.0.1g".
the rpm ebuild was not installed.

The 9.0.0.3g resolve the problem with emerging openoffice.

Actually I'm seeing this problem with app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0.0.3g on amd64.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-10-05 05:08:53 UTC 
rpm.eclass no longer uses app-arch/rpm, only app-arch/rpm2targz.

if you have a problem with rpm2targz, then file a new bug.  however, the issue you're hitting most likely isnt the same as this and there's already a bug for it.
