That's been a problem with Google's rpm for (literally) years. They for some unknown reason refuse to fix it.

I found the cause.
The rpm package is set to install into /opt ....
and I do not have /opt. So I end up having to do one of
2 things:
add args to yum to change destination dir,
or
create /opt
and now it is installed.
Thanx!!
