no idea what that error says ... please repost with LC_ALL=C

[Comment 3 Martin von Gagern 2007-02-17 10:09:38 UTC]

As a workaround you might try switching to a tarball version of libutempter.
I just submitted a patch to do so in bug #167311.

Of course this does not explain why unpacking this rpm fails, which might happen again for other rpms. So having a readable version of the error message would still be nice.
