I can confirm this issue trying to build zfs 2.2.6 on Ubuntu 22.04.
Build ends in
Unpacking of 'zfs-2.2.6-1.x86_64.rpm' failed at
/usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 168.
which can be narrowed down to the shell-out there doing
rpm2cpio 'zfs-2.2.6-1.x86_64.rpm' | (cd zfs-2.2.6; cpio --extract
--make-directories --no-absolute-filenames --preserve-modification-time)
Splitting up that action into
rpm2cpio zfs-2.2.6-1.x86_64.rpm > zfs-2.2.6-1.x86_64.cpio
cpio --extract --make-directories --no-absolute-filenames
--preserve-modification-time < zfs-2.2.6-1.x86_64.cpio
confirms it's the cpio command that fails.
Downgrading cpio to the non-security-update release version solves the
issue and the build succeeds.
apt install cpio=2.13+dfsg-7
Is this something that should be fixed in zfs or is it purely this cpio
patch to blame?

Title:
cpio 2.13+dfsg-2ubuntu0.4 breaks zfs build (alien command fails)
Status in cpio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm not sure where the true fault is but the problem only happens
after updating the cpio package from 2.13+dfsg-2ubuntu0.3 to
2.13+dfsg-2ubuntu0.4. The zfs build creates .rpms which are then
converted to .debs. The failure message is:
```
name=zfs; \
version=2.1.15-1; \
arch=`rpm -qp ${name}-kmod-${version}.src.rpm --qf %{arch} | tail -1`; \
debarch=`dpkg --print-architecture`; \
pkg1=kmod-${name}*${version}.${arch}.rpm; \
fakeroot alien --bump=0 --scripts --to-deb --target=$debarch $pkg1 || exit 1;
\
rm -f $pkg1
kmod-zfs-5.15.0-107-generic_2.1.15-1_amd64.deb generated
kmod-zfs-devel_2.1.15-1_amd64.deb generated
Unpacking of 'kmod-zfs-devel-5.15.0-107-generic-2.1.15-1.x86_64.rpm' failed
at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 168, <GETPERMS> line 315.
```
Looking at the alien source the command that fails is:
```
$this->do("rpm2cpio '".$this->filename."' | (cd $workdir; $decomp
cpio --extract --make-directories --no-absolute-filenames
--preserve-modification-time) 2>&1")
or die "Unpacking of '".$this->filename."' failed";
```
Examining the content of the .rpm:
```
# rpm -qlv kmod-zfs-devel-5.4.0-174-lowlatency-2.1.15-1.x86_64.rpm
