Hi, Seeing there was an updated package for gcc on my FC6 machine I happily let the thing update itself. However libgcj breaks while updating: Updating : libgcj ######################### [1/2] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2: cpio: rename Updated: libgcj.i386 0:4.1.2-13.fc6 Complete! Notice the happy "Complete!"... Your resulting gcj environment is now complete borked. gcj -C Hello.java Hello.java:0: error: Can't find default package ‘java.lang’. Check the CLASSPATH environment variable and the access to the archives 1 error And any attempt to install or update (even after a remove) of libgcj will fail in the same way. For some reason there are multiple /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2;468a1711 dirs (with the part after ; being some random hex-string) which seem to prevent yum updating or installing anything. In the end the only way to get a working install back was to yum remove libgcj (yes, this takes all the dependencies with it), and then removing the left over directories rm -rf /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2* /usr/lib64/gcj-4.1.2* And then installing everything again with yum install. There probably is an easier (and safer) way, and I don't really understand why this happened in the first place. Comments and ideas appreciated.
