Basically, grub2-xcat rpm was built with digest and compression newer than
RH5's ability to understand.
The following macros in .rpmmacros would make the rpm backward compatible.
[jjohnson2@taurus ~]$ cat .rpmmacros
%_binary_filedigest_algorithm 1
%_binary_payload 1
Though the filedigest algorithm could be debated as to whether it's worth it to
go to MD5. It's still not practically vulnerable to a preimage attack so it
shouldn't be too big a risk...

Hi Damir,
grub2-xcat is a package from xcat-dep, we have built it on rh7 which may
be used on rh5. Since RedHat 5.x are longer supported by xCAT, you can build
your own grub2-xcat package on the rhels 5.3 machine. And then install it by
hand. Then upgrade xCAT.
http://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/xcat-dep/ci/master/tree/grub2-xcat/
The readme file has the build steps.

________________________________
Hi,
On our very old management node running RedHat 5.3 we tried doing an upgrade
from xCAT 2.7.3 to 2.9.1. We are planning to retire this management node later
this weeks so this upgrade was part of the process.
However, upgrade has failed with the following error message(s):
Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
rpmlib(FileDigests) is needed by
grub2-xcat-2.02-0.16.el7.snap201506090204.noarch
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) is needed by
grub2-xcat-2.02-0.16.el7.snap201506090204.noarch
Complete!
(1, ['Please report this error in bugzilla'])
Has anyone seen this issue or know a workaround?
Thanks in advance.
Damir
