When asked, I chose launch the "Software Installer" to install the rpm. It crashes. Here's the crash message: Component: Software Installer Summary: TB2800fe58 traceback.py:13:_print:IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 243, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 236, in main pkginst = SinglePackageInstaller() File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 57, in __init__ GraphicalYumBase.__init__(self, False) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/__init__.py", line 124, in __init__ plugin_types=(yum.plugins.TYPE_CORE,)) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 123, in doConfigSetup startupconf.pluginconfpath) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 252, in doPluginSetup plugin_types, confpath) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 129, in __init__ self._importplugins(types) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 170, in _importplugins self._loadplugin(modulefile, types) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 218, in _loadplugin self.verbose_logger.log(logginglevels.INFO_2, 'Loading "%s" plugin', modname) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 1040, in log apply(self._log, (level, msg, args), kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 1079, in _log self.handle(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 1089, in handle self.callHandlers(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 1126, in callHandlers hdlr.handle(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 642, in handle self.emit(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 744, in emit self.handleError(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 693, in handleError traceback.print_exception(ei[0], ei[1], ei[2], None, sys.stderr) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/traceback.py", line 124, in print_exception _print(file, 'Traceback (most recent call last):') File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/traceback.py", line 13, in _print file.write(str+terminator) IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error Local variables in innermost frame: file: <open file '<stderr>', mode 'w' at 0x2aaaaaad5210> terminator: str: Traceback (most recent call last): Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pirut-1.2.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Are you out of space on /var?
/var is on the / partition, which has 3.1GB (48%) free.
Does this still occur for you?
No, it doesn't. pirut doesn't install the software, but it doesn't crash. I don't know what the correct behavior for pirut is since I always use yum in a shell. system-install-packages does install it. I am currently using the most up-to-date software in FC6 and Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070321 Minefield/3.0a3pre.
