Bug#541856: You missed the OR part of his request

The new fileroller just hit testing.Note that rpm2cpio, and the new
version of rpm that splits off that component, both currently live
only in EXPERIMENTAL. Which is, I suspect, why the request for the
change included an OR component (which was apparently typo-ed as to
version number:

rpm2cpio | rpm (<< 2.7.1)
which (I think) should be:
rpm2cpio | rpm (<< 4.7.1)

squeeze and sid both currently have 4.7.0-9 (rpm versions)
experimental 4.7.1-2 (and at this moment amd64 only - autobuilding in
process I suspect)

rpm2cpio is built from the same source as rpm, and currently available
versions are the same.


aptitude wants to autoremove rpm (correctly based on the new
fileroller), but offers no packages in it's place (since it lives in
experimental). Now I can manually fix this easily enough (just have to
decide which way to fix it - from experimental or reinstall rpm) but .
. .

In any case the original bug request appeared to be an early warning
heads up, at this time the rpm recommends still needs to be in place.
