Easy fix?
The sources are in
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=createrepo&project=DISCONTINUED%3AopenSUSE%3A11.2.
createrepo-0.4.11-missing-tags.patch is the important patch for this
case, but probably other patches could be also relevant. But with
things like "rpm.RPMTAG_SUGGESTSNAME" I guess the openSUSE RPM, with
it own patches, it also required.
