Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-01-10 20:51:50 UTC 
Were you sitting in the /var/spool/postfix directory when you did the rpm?
Comment 2 Nicola Soranzo 2007-01-11 00:48:30 UTC 
I saw the same and I was in my user home directory when I executed sudo yum update.
Comment 3 David Juran 2007-01-11 08:48:31 UTC 
No, but on line 534 in ./glibc-2.5-20061008T1257/fedora/tzdata-update.c there is
a reference to /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime. I'm not quite sure what
tzdata-update is supposed to be doing, but I suspect this line is causing the
denial. Now whether tzdata-update should be messing with postfix files or not is
another question...
