Error unpacking rpm package selinux-policy-3.10.0-61.fc16.noarch
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/man/man8/ftpd_selinux.8.gz;4ed6a8ee: cpio: open
selinux-policy-3.10.0-56.fc16.noarch was supposed to be removed but is not!


Notes:
Last successful update was Tue Nov 29 10:57:12 PST 2011.
After noticing this failure, I turned off presto (by setting minimum_percentage=0), and pointed the fedora-update repository to the baseurl. 
I also did a restorecon -Rv /usr/share/man, all to no effect.  I confirmed that none of my filesystems are full.  What am I forgetting?

A complete update shows the following packages are failing to install (all with a similar error message):
libreoffice-calc-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-core-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-draw-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-graphicfilter-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-impress-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-math-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-pdfimport-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-presenter-screen-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-ure-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
libreoffice-writer-3.4.4.2-3.fc16.i686
gtk2-2.24.8-2.fc16.i686
gtk2-immodule-xim-2.24.8-2.fc16.i686
ibus-m17n-1.3.3-6.fc16.i686
selinux-policy-3.10.0-61.fc16.noarch

I apologize in advance for the categorization.  I'm not sure where to put a suspected build problem bug.

Well, what does

# lsattr /usr/share/man/ |grep man8
Comment 2 Brad 2011-12-02 20:45:46 UTC 
On reboot, the disk was corrupt, and after fsck, the problem was not reproducible.  I am closing this report.
