That smells like it's the "symlink <-> file/dir" RPM problem. Can you show which "gtkd" is installed already? rpm -q gtkd It's likely this old one from F18: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=3384533
Michael, Thanks for your attention to this bug. I currently have NO gtkd installed. George...
> I currently have NO gtkd installed. That rules out that you're hitting the "symlink <-> file/dir" problem when updating the older build from F18. And that makes it more likely that it's a problem at your end. > Installing: > gtkd x86_64 > 2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19 > _local 7.2 M These details are interesting. The "_local" repo here means you're retrieving the package via a copy saved by the "local" Yum plugin. The size of the package is suspiciously smaller than expected. A "yum install gtkd" here gives gtkd x86_64 2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19 updates 7.9 M which is larger than your download. I'm not the maintainer of the gtkd package, but I think you've got a corrupted/truncated download of the package. With all the Yum plugins you've installed, please get familiar with the "local" plugin, its local repo contents, and get rid of the saved "gtkd" package. Then retry installing gtkd.
Michael, I'm perplexed. I did this command "ls -al $(locate gtkd) | grep rpm" on my system and then tried to manually install it with "rpm -ivh" and got the same failure. Notice the sizes for both rpm's. Why would they be different? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8028012 Jun 27 07:41 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkd-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7512064 Nov 12 15:56 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkd-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54216 Mar 16 2013 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkdatabox-0.9.1.1-10.fc19.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54560 Mar 16 2013 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkdatabox-0.9.1.1-10.fc19.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 122804 Mar 16 2013 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkdatabox-debuginfo-0.9.1.1-10.fc19.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52508 Mar 12 2013 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkdatabox-devel-0.9.1.1-10.fc19.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52480 Mar 16 2013 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkdatabox-devel-0.9.1.1-10.fc19.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9540 Mar 16 2013 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkdatabox-libglade-0.9.1.1-10.fc19.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1818504 Jun 27 07:41 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkd-devel-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1818504 Jun 27 07:41 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkd-devel-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108592 Jun 27 07:41 /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkd-geany-tags-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.noarch.rpm joker bash-4.2 ~# rpm -ivh /export/home/yum/plugins/local/gtkd-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:gtkd-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.################################# [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/libgtkd-2.so.0.2.0;52a85442: cpio: read failed - No such file or directory error: gtkd-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.x86_64: install failed
Michael, It appears that there was a network problem or an error in the remote repo for this rpm. I moved the x86_64 verison to /tmp and did another yum install gtkd and it appears to have worked. The rpm's are STILL different in size though. I would be asking why that is. I guess you can close this bug? Thanks for your help. George...
> The rpm's are STILL different in size though. I would be asking why that is. Which rpms and where? It's normal the i686 and x86_64 builds differ in size, but your downloaded rpm in /export/home/yum/plugins/local/ was much too short. A corrupted/truncated download for unknown reasons. Or is there a "remote repo" that offers such a truncated rpm? If you're unsure about the size of a downloaded package, you could verify it with "rpm", e.g. rpm -Kv gtkd-2.0.0-42.20130624gitdb5921d.fc19.x86_64.rpm in the directory where file is stored.
Michael, I ONLY get my rpms from the "official" rpm sites provided from the repos distributed in yum.repo.d. I do SA work for a living and think of myself as a tester of what I would term "normal" SA work... on Fedora distributions. It's a way I can feel like I'm giving back to the opensource community. :-) If I had a list of repos or could automatedly get a list of repos then I'd code a bunch of curls to get from each repo and compare the sizes. Do you know how I might get such a list of repos? I would be willing to check each repo and compare sizes... maybe I could get from ALL the repos and compare ALL the rpm sizes? I would post that here or just send you an email with the results. Let me know what you think? George...
