Comment (by tc01):
It's worth noting that those numbers don't tell the whole story (unfortunately)-- a "slot" is sixteen characters long... and if a filename is more than 16 characters long, it will take up two slots. (And 3 if it's longer than 32, and so on).
Selecting a drpm at random, "kde- runtime-15.04.0-1.fc22_15.04.2-1.fc22.x86_64.drpm" is 53 characters long, meaning it takes up 4 slots.
Yes, this limitation is terrible. :(
