Description Eli Wapniarski 2009-12-24 22:20:09 UTC
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.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2010-03-23 13:23:06 UTC
OK, looks like a consequence of bug #445108

f11's kde-filesystem indeed did not own these properly, leading to (this kind of) badness.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2010-03-23 13:36:42 UTC
:( 

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.
