nfpm RPMs cause rpm2cpio to silently error

[mharvey-jt]

Hello,

I've found that RPMs generated by nfpm can be successfully unpacked by rpm2cpio, but that tool silently errors with a non-zero exit code. Steps to repo:

$go install github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/cmd/nfpm@latest
$ echo '
name: "foo"
arch: "amd64"
platform: "linux"
version: "v1.0.0"
section: "default"
priority: "extra"
files:
  /etc/redhat-release: "/etc/redhat-release"
' > nfpm.yaml

$ nfpm pkg -p rpm -f nfpm.yaml
$ rpm2cpio foo-1.0.0.x86_64.rpm   > /dev/null
$ echo $?
1

Expectation is that rpm2cpio exits with 0. Confirmed that this is so with a similar RPM built with fpm

This occurs with the RHEL7 distro rpm and also upstream latest 4.16.1.3.

The proximal source of the error in rpm2cpio.c is that the payload size as determined from the RPM header does not match the actual size as returned from ufdCopy()

This is an issue in https://github.com/google/rpmpack, so will close this and move it there.
