Comment 1 Lokesh Mandvekar 2014-07-29 19:52:13 UTC
On a VPS of mine, I was stupid enough to remove the filesystem package in the hopes of installing the newer version later, and at this point everything simply blew up :\ (mainly all possible shell commands apart from cd were unavailable) ... perhaps this should be a core/critical package (???)

Comment 2 Lokesh Mandvekar 2014-07-30 03:26:37 UTC
So on my local machine, I mv'd /media to /media.safe and then yum update ran totally fine. After the update I noticed the symlink /media -> /run/media but after a reboot /run/media was no longer there, at which point I deleted the symlink and mv'd /media.safe back to /media. Probably a crappy hack but all seems well now.

Thanks for report and sorry for broken -28.fc22. Renaming the directory is recommended by the packaging guidelines ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Directory_Replacement ) and was done in -29.fc22 . Closing RAWHIDE.
