that is a one-liner to extract all of the RPMs, and since you only have
scalc, it looks like you only extracted the first of the many RPMs.
That is what happened to me initially when using...

rpm2cpio *rpm ......

the wildcard wasn't expanded, and only the first RPM was extracted.

if you are still having trouble, extract them all manually.
