I always have to do

What's it needed for? I've never needed to do this.
Paul.
If I don't then when I run yum I always get a flood of messages saying
'unable to get backing store ...' or something like that. This has been
true on every machine I've setup for Fedora for many releases back.
Rpm doesn't use such directory for anything by default, and neither does
yum AFAIK. Most likely you have overridden %{_tmppath} (by default
/var/tmp) somewhere and forgotten all about it.
