(Summary is subject to clarification).

I've been experimenting with yum-plugin-replace, and will submit a package for that handy plugin shortly. Replacing as many of my i386 packages with pentium4 packages, I ran into the following situation:

[c:\]yum replace bzip2-libs --replace-with bzip2-libs

determined that:

bzip2-libs bzip2-devel bzip2

all needed to be replaced with pentium4 builds. bzip2-libs and bzip2-devel replaced fine (as did 30+ other packages when I replaced them). bzip2 fails to install with:

Error unpacking rpm package bzip2-1.0.6-5.oc00.pentium4
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: read
Warning: scriptlet or other non-fatal errors occurred during transaction.
What is this? bzip2-1.0.6-5.oc00.pentium4
VerifyTransaction time: 0.011
Transaction time: 0.517

The same error is thrown for i686.

I can manually extract both of those packages via unrpm, have copied the contents where required, and have tested that bzip2 itself works. I have not examined the rpm to determine whether there is, in fact, any defect at all.

cpio is cpio-2.11-4.oc00.pentium4 (tried with i386 first, then replaced i386 cpio with pentium4).

Workaround is after using unrpm to extract, running:

[c:\]rpm -i --justdb bzip2-1.0.6-5.oc00.pentium4.rpm

which satisfies the db requirement, at least.

Current ExceptQ package:

​http://www.warpcave.com/betas/exceptq-7.11.3-shl-2016-07-27.zip

I think we missed a couple updates in between, as the one in the repo is 7.11 from 2014.

The package does contain libxml2m.pyd, however, when running createrepo, I get:

[j:\devel\yumie-extras\bootstrap]sh -c "createrepo q:/repo"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/@unixroot/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 27, in <module>

    import libxml2
  File "/@unixroot/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in <module>
    import libxml2mod
ImportError: No module named libxml2mod

Indeed, line 1 of libxml2.py does include libxml2mod, but this file cannot be found.

Added symlink to libxml2m.pyd, and createrepo completed without error.

Additional notes:

I recently ran a full yum replace to swap out remaining i386 and i686 packages for pentium4. This is the first time I have run createrepo since making this change, so it is possible that the previous arch I had for this included the symlink or perhaps the previous libxlm2.py included libxml2m instead of libxml2mod.
