[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM_BIN_TYPE get wrong length if HEADERIMPORT_FAST is used (#398)

[Jeff Johnson]

(I'm sure you know this) NEVRA isn't unique even if commonly used, and pkgid is the only candidate for a unique id available for almost all *.rpm packages ever built without painful retrofits. The SHA1  hdrid is likelier to be noticed sooner because it maps directly into "what git does"' but a UUID representation permits choice of a identifier that can be implemented without enormous discussions.

It's not the count field in the package file, but rather the value returned through the API that goes awry.
