>Description:

Attempt to install print/acroread8 on NetBSD 5.1_RC3 i386 with
up-to-date pkgsrc, and observe the following error: 

===> Installing dependencies for suse_compat-10.0nb3
==========================================================================
The following variables will affect the build process of this package,
suse_compat-10.0nb3.  Their current value is shown below:

/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/suse100/i586/compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-6.i586.rpm

You may want to abort the process now with CTRL-C and change their value
before continuing.  Be sure to run `/usr/bin/make clean' after
the changes.

The problem is seen with versions 3.0 and 3.0.1 of rpm2pkg.  Version
2.3 doesn't have this issue.

>How-To-Repeat:
        Attempt to build print/acroread8 from pkgsrc.  Observe the
claimed error cpio header.
>Fix:
        Downgrade to rpm2pkg version 2.3 to get around the issue.
