Can't open any RPM file

[Dmitry Alexeyev]

Hi,

Just updates from CVS and built mc. I now can't browse RPM packages. I 
tried to restore old /usr/local/share/extfs/rpm* files, but that 
doesn't solve the problem. mc gives "inconsistent extfs acrhive 
message" on all rpms. Checked about 20 packages, all of them are okay, 
some of them are installed. 

Pressing F3 on RPM files shows it's contents correclty. 

How can I reach rpm's error messages for debugging this?
