Just performed an upgrade on one of my machines from fedora 11 to 12. The update to kde-filesystem-4-30.fc12.noarch.rpm failed Yum reported error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/HTML/de/docs/common: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory I downloaded and tried to install the file manually with the same result. I then deleted: /usr/share/doc/HTML/de And tried again with the message: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/HTML/ru/docs/common: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory I then removed the folder /usr/share/doc/HTML/ru All was well when I tried to install again.

Ugh, this one's going to be hard to find. I strongly suspect some other package on f11 that wrongly owned /usr/share/doc/HTML/{de/ru}/docs/common repoquery (at least) shows the only owner of that on fc12 is kde-filesystem, as it should be. I'll if I can figure anything out in my f11 vm.
OK, looks like a consequence of bug #445108 f11's kde-filesystem indeed did not own these properly, leading to (this kind of) badness.
:( f11 repoquery on ownership of /usr/share/doc/HTML/{de,ru}/docs/ or /usr/share/doc/HTML/{de,ru}/docs/common Came up empty too. I think we may have to just live with manually workarounds when/if this happens. to folks upgrading from/to f11.
