I worked around this problem by building a current version of rpm (4.15.1) from source. I prefixed the build to /usr/local, with the exception of var which I pointed to the system rpm db. The versions were close enough that I figured there was no major schema difference. I used the updated rpm command to manually install virt-win, then updated everything else with the normal system rpm. I thought of upgrading the system to the new version of rpm, looking at the installed rpm's SPEC file, there are many patches over the stock code. I don't have the time to go through and figure out which patches are minor fixes, and which may make major changes to the way rpm works on RedHat/CentOS. I decided I didn't want to introduce something that could cause me more problems in the future, especially not for a single package. I am concerned this type of problem may spread as more people build rpms that use the new compression method.
RPMs that are supposed to be shared among EL6/EL7/EL8 should probably just use the old compression method for compatibility. Alternatively, the new compression method could be back-ported/enabled for the entire family if there is a desire to consolidate everything; seems excessive, but certainly possible. Just my 2c. -Edmond On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 3:20 AM Gal Zaidman <gzaid...@redhat.com> wrote: > Forwarding this to virtio-win developers and packagers. > Notice that virtio-win is a package in Fedora/Centos/RHEL and it is not an > "ovirt/RHV" package so ovirt doesn't package it. > > On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 4:59 AM <eshwa...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Same problem.
