How reproducible:
Run "yum update" with less space than required for updates.


Steps to Reproduce:

rpmlib disk space calculation will never be correct until #209306 is fixed.
Comment 4 Panu Matilainen 2007-08-10 11:47:38 UTC 
If the miscalculation was due to #209306 then it should be fixed in current
rawhide / f8-test1 - can you verify please?
Comment 5 Panu Matilainen 2007-08-28 05:37:38 UTC 
rpm 4.4.2.1 has been pushed to F7 updates which should fix or at least help
considerably. If not, feel free to reopen.
