On 28-Jan-99 Alicia da Conceicao spoke unto us all:
#  The Linux Sybase was contained within a AuSE Linux CDROM, and was in
#  the horrible RPM format.  I run "rpm2cpio" on it, and converted it to
#  a cpio archive, which I expanded from the root directory

I tend to wonder if the rpm2cpio program didn't mess up some of the programs. 
It looks like some of them were supposed to be some sort of special files..
perhaps sparse files?

Would our rpm pkg better handle it?
