Actually, I've never been able to --ftpdebug display any extra info. 
That was one of the first things that originaly gave me the idea that 
somehow ftp functionality wasn't included in my build. I think I 
mentioned this a long time ago in the original thread, but maybe not. 
For example, using the exact same command as you all I come up with is:

# rpm -qp --ftpdebug 
ftp://rpm.rutgers.edu/solaris/solaris9-sparc64/hydrogen/RPMS.main/openssl-0.9.8g-1.solaris2.9-sparc64.rpm
error: open of 
ftp://rpm.rutgers.edu/solaris/solaris9-sparc64/hydrogen/RPMS.main/openssl-0.9.8g-1.solaris2.9-sparc64.rpm 
failed: No such file or directory
#

This is part of the reason why I was having such a hard time debugging 
it... extra ftp info would have been great! ;) --rpmiodebug shows the 
expected problem:

*** Fopen fdio path 
ftp://rpm.rutgers.edu/solaris/solaris9-sparc64/hydrogen/RPMS.main/openssl-0.9.8g-1.solaris2.9-sparc64.rpm 
fmode r

Strange ftpdebug doesn't work in our build.
