Description Honza Silhan 2016-03-18 15:14:21 UTC

When there's the cpio error during transaction, show more useful hint

actual result:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/packages/chardet: cpio: rename

expected result:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/packages/chardet: cpio: rename,
the content of the package might be already installed via different source

Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2016-03-29 14:45:00 UTC

This was reported from IRC by some confused user. IMO the hint should be inside rpm error message.

Reproducer:
1) rpm -e python(3)-requests
2) pip(3) install requests
3) dnf install python(3)-requests
