rpm fails to recognize signatures from latest centos/fedora

[Alfredo Moralejo]

Hello,

When trying to read rpm packages from latest fedora/centos i get an error:

# wget https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/filesystem-3.16-2.el9.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -q -i -p filesystem-3.16-2.el9.x86_64.rpm
error: filesystem-3.16-2.el9.x86_64.rpm: signature hdr data: BAD, no. of bytes(3919692) out of range
error: filesystem-3.16-2.el9.x86_64.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest)

I'm using version 4.14.2.1+dfsg1-1build2 in focal.

This seems similar to the issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1918777

Note this seems fixed in last impish build 4.16.1.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1, but i think it'd be good to get the fix in current supported version focal.

Thanks,

Alfredo
