Made on RHEL6 you meant to say. RPM devs are not two blame, support for
SHA1 hashes and xz has been introduced long time ago and is also
something that many have been looking for, considering how md5 is
becoming increasingly less secure.
Right, but it would be so much better if older RPM binaries would know
that these RPM packages are newer and incompatible. Or, that the older RPM
binaries were patched to support them, or provide a better error message.
I got about 20 messages about this. People are wasting time because of
improper messages that indicate some failure with the package, the files
or their system.
