Description Dale Lovelace 2000-01-14 17:13:13 UTC 
If you try to install bash, and don't have /dev/null for whatever reason,
the installation fails with this message:

bash	##################################################
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42802: /dev/null: No such file or directory
execution of script failed
