Howdy folks,

I don't ask the list for help often and I have a good idea of what I think
the issue may be, but I'm going to cross the T's and dot the I's just in
case.

Decided to do a fresh xCAT 2.8.3 install on a SLES 11 SP1 system
(2.6.32.54-0.3-default) and received the following error:

root@somehost:~ # zypper install xCAT
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  apache2 apache2-prefork apache2-utils bind conserver-xcat elilo-xcat
ipmitool-xcat libdnet1 liblua5_1 nmap perl-xCAT syslinux-xcat xCAT
xCAT-buildkit
  xCAT-client xCAT-genesis-scripts-x86_64 xCAT-server xnba-undi

The following recommended package was automatically selected:
  apache2-prefork

The following packages are not supported by their vendor:
  apache2 apache2-prefork apache2-utils conserver-xcat elilo-xcat
ipmitool-xcat perl-xCAT syslinux-xcat xCAT xCAT-buildkit xCAT-client
  xCAT-genesis-scripts-x86_64 xCAT-server xnba-undi

18 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 6.7 MiB. After the operation, additional 24.9 MiB
will be used.

Installing: xnba-undi-1.0.3-131004 [error]
Installation of xnba-undi-1.0.3-131004 failed:
(with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error:
unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic


A manual install of the rpm results in a the following:

root@somehost:/some/path/xcat-2.8.3/xcat-dep # rpm -ivh
xnba-undi-1.0.3-131004.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by
xnba-undi-1.0.3-131004.noarch
        rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by
xnba-undi-1.0.3-131004.noarch


These errors are (I believe) the result of the rpm's being created with a
newer version of rpm (rpmbuild).  I upgraded rpm and it's associated
supporting software as far as I could (there are no more updates available
in the supported repo), but still no dice.

rpm-4.4.2.3-37.29.33.1
rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-37.29.33.1
rpm-32bit-4.4.2.3-37.29.29.1

Can anyone comment on the version of rpm used to create the xnba-undi
noarch rpm?  Any other SLES 11 SP1 users out there encounter this issue?
Thanks.
