  Installing : groff-base-1.21-4.fc17.x86_64                              14/72 
Error unpacking rpm package groff-base-1.21-4.fc17.x86_64
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/groff/site-font: cpio: rename

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.21-4.fc17.x86_64

Comment 1 Stijn Hoop 2011-09-19 12:06:31 UTC

This is caused by the switch from directory to symlink for the following two paths (bug 447156 ):

/usr/share/groff/site-font
/usr/share/groff/site-tmac

Suggested solution seems to be to add a %pretrans scriptlet.
