[ale] RPM hangs on a website?

[Michael Hirsch]

It looks to me like you've got a bogus rpm file.  It is either a file
with that contains a web page instead of an rpm, or the filename itself
is very bogus.  You need to figure out which file is making rpm croak. 
I think it is the latter.  Can you show us the output of ls *.rpm,
please?
