Description:
rpm2cpio from rpmextract does not work properly in all cases while the package providing the same binary from aur does work correctly.
file rpm2cpio_output gives back a gzipped file instead of a cpio file in some cases.
Suggest using rpm2cpio perl script package from aur instead as it handles this case.

Broken Package:
rpmextract-1.0
Working Package:
rpm2cpio-20020306
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5779

Steps to reproduce:
use rpm2cpio on any gzip compressed rpm package

Note that bsdcpio can extract the result of the current rpm2cpio binary. Does the rpm2cpio package in AUR support lzma-compressed RPM files?

I doubt that, it is from 2002. BTW both flavours of rpm2cpio are not binaries, but scripts. The AUR package gives a perl script. The one in rpmextract package is a shell script.
