error: unpacking of archive failed on file: cpio: Archive file not in header

[Rashid Zamani]

Hi folks,

I am not sure if I should have posted this in rpmbuild mailing list or in
rpm project it self (so I'm gonna post in both of 'em).

I have created a rpm package using rpmbuild and thins apparently went
smooth. I got no error and only one warning indicating my host name cannot
be canonicalize.
I got the .rpm file in the relative folder, but when I'm trying "rpm -i
mypackage.rpm" I get  "error: unpacking of archive failed on file: cpio:
Archive file not in header".

I get " mypackage.rpm: sha1 md5 OK" for "rpm -K" and "-rwxr-xr-x    1
root    root    62089 Nov  6 18:37 mypackage.so.1.3.2" for "rpm -qvlp" (my
package is a C++/Qt library).

I have a post[1] in SatckOverflow for my spec file, and I think it should
be fine, although that's the only where I can think of modifying to make
this work.

I read on internet that some say this could happen due to buggy version of
rpmbuild or rpm. I am using RPM 4.9.1.2

Regards
