From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-6 i686) Description of problem: When I tried to install filesystem-2.1.0-2.1, it failed because I had /usr/local/games and /opt mounted read-only. The message was: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/local/games: cpio: chown failed - Read-only file system I mounted them read-write and then it worked fine, but that doesn't seem right. If they're already there and already have the correct ownership and permissions, it seems like you should just leave them alone. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount /usr/local/games as read-only 2.install filesystem package 3. Actual Results: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/local/games: cpio: chown failed - Read-only file system Expected Results: filesystem package should install without error Additional info:
This really can't be solved in the context of just the filesystem package.
