I think this is more of a yum or rpm problem, since a failure is being reported as a success. Bugzilla doesn't seem to have any bugs for this. # yum -y upgrade [snip] Running Transaction Installing: python-virtinst ######################### [1/2] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xeninst: cpio: rename Installed: python-virtinst.noarch 0:0.95.0-1.fc6 Replaced: python-xeninst.noarch 0:0.94.0-1 Complete!

python-xeninst was a new package in FC6 and has to be renamed -- so that we can retain compatibility and not have to rebuild the world at this point, we had to go with the non-upgradable version of the change. This is why upgrades from rawhide -> final can't always be supported.
Okay, fair enough, I'll remove it then.
