 Not that I disagree with te "Why" above, but what I found the strangest
 about this problem is that the possibly "broken" rpm seems to be Suse's
 official one.  It may well be not strictly compliant to whatever standard
 RPM format may be, but it seems that it is at least as good as necessary
 for Suse Linux to install it (but I haven't personally tested with Linux
 yet, because it would require a lot of time to download ISO images and
 disk space that I don't have available at the moment).
 
 Thanks for the work.  Let me know if I an help in any way.
 
 Best regards,
