Closer look reveals that also /lib/terminfo/v/vt100 is a hard link to /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100-am. Thanks for the report. Should be fixed in ncurses-5.5-26.20060715.fc7. |
Description of problem: When attempting an update to ncurses-5.5-25.20060715.fc7 something of that sort shows up: Updating : ncurses ##################### [ 18/162] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/terminfo/v/vt220;456dcf2f: cpio: link The problem is that in a new package /lib/terminfo/v/vt220 turns out to be a hard link to /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt200 and this fails if /lib/terminfo/v/ and /usr/share/terminfo/v/ happen _not_ to share a file system. Results are: - 'rpm -q ncurses' reports only an old version installed - on a disk there is a mess of old and new files making 'rpm -V ncurses' quite unhappy - /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt220 ends up as broken link to nowhere - with now default 'keepcache=0', if somebody is crazy enough to use it, the whole cache is dumped making hard to diagnose what happened. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ncurses-5.5-25.20060715.fc7 How reproducible: always with /lib and /usr/share on different file systems
