When your version of rpm doesn't support xz payload (LZMA), you get horrible errors messages when it should say it can't handle the payload (or use some other way to handle it)

Attached is a small package with LZMA payload.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

fyi, xz and lzma are the same thing:
"
XZ Utils are an attempt to make LZMA compression easy to use on free (as in
freedom) operating systems. This is achieved by providing tools and libraries
which are similar to use than the equivalents of the most popular existing
compression algorithms.
