I was out of touch from my normal internet connectivity for a few
months and when I got back and d/l'd rpms and tried to use them
I got an error:
Failed dependencies: rpmlib(PayloadIsZstd)
I tried building rpm from source, but it had several dependent
devel packages that also were encoded in the new format.
Was a tool also part of the format-upgrade to allow for re-encoding
new rpms such that they might be readable by the old rpm?
OR...any suggestions on how I can bring my system into sync
with the newer format so that I can move forward?
Suggestion: can rpm be enhanced to support plug-ins, where needed,
like when it wants to compress/decompress a payload, ala tar's:
-I, --use-compress-program=COMMAND
Filter data through COMMAND. It must accept the -d option, for
decompression. The argument can contain command line options.
Certainly would be a great help to allow for external plug-ins
in situations like this.
