rpm rollback ignoring rpms - no error output
- by John H
Issue
rpm rollback is not working with a set of repackaged rpms created in the last couple days, but does work with more recent ones.

Now, if I run my test commands with -Uvvh I get debug messages to stderror which shows me that rpm reads each of the rpm files in /var/spool/repackage. The only interesting bit is the "expected size" but after searching, the expected size should be different, as it records the files as they are on the filesystem.

I am able to copy these rpms out of the repackage directory and if I run them through cpio, extract the files.
I also tried backing up and rebuilding the rpm database - no change.
