[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.6.2 .src.rpm on RHEL 5.9 Fails with cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

[Stephen Quinney]

The fact that SRPMs generated on Fedora and RHEL6 don't install
cleanly on RHEL5 is a long-standing nuisance. There are two ways
around this.

The first is to use "rpm --nomd5  /tmp/openafs-1.6.2-1.src.rpm"

Which is fine as long as you trust the SRPM is correct.

The second is to use the signed SRPM which I use for building the
RHEL5 packages, it can be found in
/afs/inf.ed.ac.uk/group/afsbuild/1.6.2/rhel5/

Cheers,

Stephen
