You may also know this as "RedHat Package Manager" files. When you extract the file, you will only find a single file, ending in ".cpio". This is because an RPM file is just some special headers and a .cpio.gz archive. RPM will automatically do the gzip decompression, but it can't directly examine the .cpio archive for the same reason XAD can't directly look at the .tar part of a .tar.gz archive. If this bugs you, use Voodoo-X :)
