RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Justin Ryan 2015-10-16 21:41:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

The python-six-1.9.0-2.el6 release replaced an egg-info directory with an egg-info file, which rpm's cpio refuses to do.

$ repoquery -l python-six-1.9.0-1.el6 |grep egg
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info/PKG-INFO
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info/SOURCES.txt
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info/top_level.txt
$ repoquery -l python-six-1.9.0-2.el6 |grep egg
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.9.0-2.el6

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

$ rpm -q python-six
python-six-1.9.0-1.el6.noarch
$ rpm -U python-six-1.9.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm 
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory

Actual results:

$ ls -ld /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six* |grep egg
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root    86 Oct 16 21:34 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info
----------. 1 root root  1419 Oct 16 21:34 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/six-1.9.0-py2.6.egg-info;56216d81

Expected results:

Package should continue to provide egg-info as a directory, or force overwrite the directory with the new file
Comment 2 Robert Kuska 2015-12-09 10:22:51 UTC 
This is caused by python-six-1.9.0-2.el6 not using setuptools to build a package.

Where does python-six-1.9.0-1.el6 come from if I may ask?
Comment 3 Honza Horak 2016-08-31 07:35:14 UTC 
No response from reporter, so closing.
Comment 4 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 03:06:49 UTC
