Description of problem: yum upgrade of Moodle fails for version 1.9.9-2 Running Transaction etckeeper: pre transaction commit Updating : moodle-1.9.9-2.fc13.noarch 1/2 Error unpacking rpm package moodle-1.9.9-2.fc13.noarch error: unpacking of archive failed on file /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas: cpio: rename
Note, on another system that had this problem, uninstalling and reinstalling Moodle works fine, so it appears to be an upgrade-specific problem.
I think this is a nasty problem. It affects the EPEL packages as well, it would seem: $ sudo yum update moodle ... Error unpacking rpm package moodle-1.8.13-2.el5.noarch error: unpacking of archive failed on file /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas: cpio: rename Failed: moodle.noarch 0:1.8.13-2.el5 $ rpm -qf /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas moodle-1.8.12-1.el5.noarch $ file /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas: directory $ rpm -qplv moodle-1.8.13-2.el5.noarch.rpm | grep /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 20 08:40 /var/www/moodle/web/auth/cas -> /usr/share/pear/ Happy to file a seperate EPEL bug if desired. But the issue is the same, replacing a directory with a symlink is a painful process with rpm.

Sorry for the delay. It was a one-character typo. If the rawhide build works for you, I'll push the fix everywhere.
