Description of problem: If "up2date -u" is started from command line in NFS mounted directory and NFS is restarted as a part of installation of one of the packages up2date fails leaving system in inconsistent state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.4.67-3 How reproducible: Happened once, but is for sure reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount someserver:/users/jdow /misc 2. cd /misc 3. up2date -u Actual results: ... 71:autofs ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /misc: cpio: chown Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ] Stopping NFS statd: [ OK ] There was a fatal RPM install error. The message was: There was a rpm unpack error installing the package: autofs-4.1.3-168 ... Restarting up2date indicates that rpm database is corrupted [root@silverado root]# up2date -u RPM error. The message was: Could not determine what version of Red Hat Linux you are running. If you get this error, try running rpm --rebuilddb Running "rpm --rebuilddb" works fine, but does not help with up2date. It fails with the same error Expected results: up2date should detect that it is started un NFS mounted directory and exit with error message, or it should not install package that require NFS restart to avoid pulling a rug from under itself, or it should change directory to root right after start and refork itself there like a daemon.
