Upgrade install from RHEL4.6 to RHEL5.1 fails to install /usr/lib/gcc* packages
with 'upgrade.log:error: unpacking of archive failed on file foo' messages.

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


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 'everything' RHEL4Ux
2. Upgrade to RHEL5.1
3.
  
Actual results:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/libexec/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2: cpio: rename


Expected results:
cpio completes succesfully and package upgrade continues rather than skips.

This is due to a typo in gcc.spec that was coincidentally fixed in another BZ#
