dnf install -y python-ptyprocess

fails with 


 Installing  : python-ptyprocess-0.5-2.fc23.noarch           1/1 
Error unpacking rpm package python-ptyprocess-0.5-2.fc23.noarch
Error unpacking rpm package python-ptyprocess-0.5-2.fc23.noarch

python-ptyprocess-0.5-2.fc23.noarch was supposed to be installed but is not!

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this.
How reproducible is this for you? Could you paste the complete output of "dnf install python-ptyprocess" please?

Comment 2 Thomas Spura 2016-04-04 08:26:13 UTC

Do you maybe have ptyprocess installed via pip? And now you try to install it also with dnf?
What's the output of "ls -lrt /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ptyprocess*"?

Comment 3 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-04-04 13:44:43 UTC

I saw the same error for some different package (I think it was python[23]-igor, but not 100% sure) a few days ago. I then started the install again and it went fine. Unfortunately I didn't investigate so I don't know if this was caused by some stray file or if there's some rpm/dnf issue.

Comment 4 Mark van Rossum 2016-04-09 11:26:54 UTC

Thanks Thomas
It was indeed due to a leftover pip install.
