Why do you think so?

$ rpm2cpio MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-1.13.x86_64.rpm | cpio -t
./usr/lib64/firefox
1 block

Archive is correct. Single empty directory is in it.

The 132k is filled by huge packet changelog:

$ rpm -qp --changelog MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-1.13.x86_64.rpm | 
wc -c
129549

MC is powerless to do anything here.

ordinary files in rpm file not displayed/accessible

2019-08-14 Thread Felix Miata via mc
On "entry" (highlight local copy of rpm fetched with wget, highlight it, press
) to 12k
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-60-2.3.x86_64.rpm
using MC, whether 4.8.22 in Leap 15.1, 4.8.21 in Fedora 30, or 4.8.23 in
Tumbleweed, all directories in CONTENTS.cpio are non-empty. This is expected
behavior.

On "entry" to 132k
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-2.1.x86_64.rpm
or
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-1.13.x86_64.rpm
(downloaded with zypper)
all directories are displayed as empty, not expected behavior.

Is there a compression scheme missing from mc packaging that causes this?
Does mc.ext need some sort of customization? Something else? Bug report?
