/usr/share/foomatic/db/compiled is a symbolic link---and this is so in all the foomatic packages from Red Hat Linux. The error indicates that you had changed it into a directory (or, possibly, deleted it) at some time. Don't do that. :-) Thanks for your fast response :) Here are some additional infos: # ls -l /usr/share/foomatic/db/compiled total 228 drwxr-xr-x 173 root root 4096 Oct 19 2001 combo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224835 Jul 24 2001 overview.xml ok, it is a directory, but the package is from RedHat: # rpm -qi foomatic Name : foomatic Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 1.1 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
