Sami, would you please take a look ?
Additional, this upgrade breaks eclipse-pydev
I am looking into this. It is a reconciliation issue.
eclipse-3.7.1-3.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/eclipse-3.7.1-3.fc16
I got the following when doing the upgrade: Error unpacking rpm package 1:eclipse-jdt-3.7.1-3.fc16.i686 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/efj: cpio: rename It appears to be due to changing from a directory to a file. I deleted that directory and tried the upgrade again. It succeeded and eclipse works properly.
Alex, did we have some workaround for this directory -> file change in the past?
Yes, we do. It's fixed properly on rawhide and Roland is aware of it.
