Description of problem: On a clean installation of eclipse installed using: > yum install eclipse-sdk eclipse-cdt Using Help/Software Updates/Find and Install, the SDK displays an error complaining that it can't create a directory under /usr/eclipse/features. If this is ignored, there is a configuration problem that prevents any features from installing. The reported configuration problems are: Current configuration contains errors that are not corrected by the requested operation and more errors would be introduced. See details for more information. ----- Current configuration problems ----- Error creating feature "file:/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/". [/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/feature.xml (No such file or directory)] ----- Configuration problems after the operation ----- Error creating feature "file:/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/".

Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a fresh install of eclipse, installed as above, invoke /Help/Software Updates/Find and Install. 2. Add a new remote link to http://subclipse.tigris.org/update 3. Click <Finish> 4. Select Subclipse Actual results: Popup indicates a configuration error. Expected results: SDK should proceed to downloading the selected feature. Additional info:
On closer examination, this isn't right. The actual problem is that there are missing plugins in the distribution.
No, it is a bug. I just discovered it yesterday evening. I'm currently working on a fix. Thanks for the report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 238107 ***
